"After shootout, Chouhan used to keep bidding on death of farmers in Rs 5crore air conditioned tents brought from Gujarat and the kin of deceased farmers were forcefully brought to Bhopal against rituals of Hindus for breaking his fast," Scindia alleged.He also slammed Chouhan and his government over illegal sand mining, Vyapam scam and corruption. "The Prime Minister's Crop Insurance Scheme is a big scam, in which the amount of Rs 3000 crore was deducted from farmers' bank account without their consent and less than Rs 50 crore was paid to them as compensation against their damaged crop of Rs 600 crore while CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has given the remaining funds to his friends of the private company," said Scindia while addressing a public meeting in Balwadi of Sendhwa constituency of Barwani district ..
