The Congress government in Madhya Pradesh Friday alleged that there was a big scam in the co-operative sector during the previous Shivraj Singh Chouhan dispensation, which has led to "discrepancies" in the list of farm loan waiver beneficiaries.

The opposition BJP, however, hit back saying the cooperative banks were creating such discrepancies at the behest of the Congress government.

Addressing a press conference here Friday, state Sports Minister Jitu Patwari said, "There was a big scam in the co-operative sector during the previous Shivraj Singh government of BJP, which led to discrepancies in the list of beneficiaries of loan waiver scheme. These discrepancies are coming to light at several places."
