Former finance minister and BJP leader Jayant Mallaiya has alleged that leaders, officers, corporators, and Nagar Palika officials are taking money from poor people instead of fulfilling their responsibilities. During a meeting of Damoh Nagar Palika, Mallaiya compared the poor to sugarcane that gets crushed from both ends for juice.
However, he clarified that his comments were not directed against the government but aimed to expose the corruption prevalent in the system. Mallaiya reported his concerns to the Urban Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya and the Additional Chief Secretary, urging a probe into the matter. The Opposition has seized upon his allegations to build pressure on the government, with a video of his criticism going viral on social media.
