BHOPAL: After Dr Anand Rai, yet another whistle-blower in the Vyapam scam has accused senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) workers of ‘compelling’ him to hold up his activities besides giving him an option of choosing between ‘organisation’ and the ‘scam’.

Chaturvedi, who took part in RSS’s traditional 'Path Sanchalan' (route march) at Gwalior on the occasion of Dussehra on Wednesday told TOI that senior RSS office bearers had asked him to not to visit RSS office ever since he named chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and senior BJP leaders in the scam.

Rai, who was a principal whistle-blower in the scam too, claims that he was abandoned by RSS after he exposed Vyapam. While Rai was the vice-president of the Indore chapter of Arogya Bharti, the medical wing of the RSS, Chaturvedi was Vistarak of the organisation in 2006.

“I won’t say that the whole RSS organisation is against me, but those who brought me in the organisation asked me not to visit the office after I refused to stop exposing those involved,” said Chaturvedi pointing fingers at Arun Jain, a Kshetriya Pracharak (zonal charge) of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

“They said I had only one option either to continue exposing Vyapam or to remain with RSS, I preferred activist. As I believe in RSS ideology I would take part in their activities,” Chaturvedi alleged.

When contacted, Jain said, “I don’t know what he is talking about. I have not seen or met him for the last eight months."

Chaturvedi, who blew a whistle on medical examination and recruitment scam and attacked in Gwalior in 2014, was allegedly threatened with dire consequences by a police officer last week.

He had lodged FIR against many, including eight considered close to chief minister for their role in MPPEB scam. His complaint had forced SIT to look into the scam to lodge FIRs against eight people, including former PEB exam controller Sudhir Bhadoria, his successor Pankaj Trivedi, son-in-law of former minister Sheetla Sahai, B R Srivastava, Gulab Singh Kirar’s son Shakti Singh, ASI Veer Bhahdur Singh Bhadoria, Vishal Yadav and Rashmi Parihar. Chaturvedi had petitioned to CBI to probe admission of 5,000 medicos in MBBS and PG courses of 2003-2013 in medical colleges in the state.
