Chhattisgarh passes Bill to acquire private medical college, faces allegations of impropriety

"Without carrying out prior valuation of the assets, the government decided to acquire it. How can it waste public money by paying double of the actual valuation?" Agrawal said, citing the provisions of the Bill, news agency PTI reported.

Former Chhattisgarh CM and BJP Vice President Raman Singh raised his doubts regarding government's decision to purchase the debt-ridden college, even as the Medical Council of India had made a recommendation to discontinue the recognition of the college three years ago.

"The Bill has been brought to ensure relief to directors of college from debts," Singh was quoted as saying by PTI.
