Bhopal, Dec 28 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Ajay Vishnoi today alleged that the state's main opposition Congress was busy indulging in propaganda and the party should apologise to the public.

''The Congress, which is singing the dumpers' purchase 'scam' tune, recently issued a list of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's eight 'relatives' whose dumpers were operating under a Rewa-based industrial group. In reality, none of the eight are even acquainted with Mr Chouhan,'' he told journalists here.

The minister said there was not even a vestige of truth in Congress state President Subhash Yadav's allegation, made on Wednesday, of corruption in the Deendayal Mobile Hospital Scheme.

''I challenge Mr Yadav to come to my office and profoundly investigate the matter himself. I have said earlier that I am ready for any probe. Congress MLA Nishith Patel had played politics even over death by linking a farmer's suicide -- at Katni district's Padwar village -- with power paucity,'' Mr Vishnoi added.

As the minister is in charge of that district, he had the matter probed and found that Sumera committed suicide following a family dispute.
