Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, Madhya Pradesh Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh has written a letter to him, demanding impartial probe into the alleged e-tender tampering scam in the state.

"You initiated Digital India movement which received a massive jolt with the exposure of the e-tender tampering scam," the Congress leader said in his letter, sent yesterday.

Two of these e-tenders are linked with an irrigation project in Rajgarh district which Modi is scheduled to inaugurate tomorrow, Singh said.

"People have lost faith in the information technology after the scam was unearthed," the letter read.

Accusing the BJP government in the state of a cover-up, he added, "Investigations have been handed over to the MP Economic Offences Wing, which does not have cyber experts. Government has paralysed the functioning of the EOW."
