Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Satyadev Katare on Saturday said that the arrest of Vandana Dwivedi by the Special Task Force (STF) shows that the maximum number of persons involved in the Professional Examination Board (PEB) scam are linked to the BJP.

Katare said that Dwivedi was member of BJP’s women’s wing executive and her arrest clearly suggests that mostly the ruling party leaders were behind the scam. "Already, former minister and BJP leader Laxmikant Sharma is in jail for the scam.Such leaders are responsible for robbing the youths of their rightful jobs and future," said Katare.

The senior Congress leader said that BJP shouldn’t talk about morality after the manner in which it has been exposed in the PEB scam. Katare said that CM should immediately hand over the probe in PEB scam to CBI.
