MP Assembly adjourned till tomorrow after opposition uproar

Bhopal, Feb 18 (ANI): The Madhya Pradesh Assembly has been adjourned till tomorrow following a massive uproar by the Congress Party over the Vyapam scam. The Congress MLAs staged a walkout from the assembly and demanded the resignations of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Governor Ram Naresh Yadav. Earlier on Monday, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh had alleged that Chief Minister Chouhan's name was replaced by Union Minister Uma Bharti and others in the Vyapam case. Singh alleged that Chouhan's name was replaced in the excel-sheet submitted by the Special Task Force in the court, apparently to shield him in the case. Feb 18, 2015
