Former MLA Kalpana Verma Accuses Chhattisgarh Minister of Misusing Power for Personal Gain

According to Verma, the conduct of those in power has crossed the boundaries of democratic propriety. She argued that the alleged behaviour not only undermines administrative ethics but also erodes public trust in governance. Pointing to what she described as “open misuse of authority,” she urged the administration to initiate an immediate and impartial inquiry into the matter.

Verma emphasised that such incidents weaken the foundations of institutional accountability and create an atmosphere where public institutions risk being overshadowed by private interests. She maintained that swift action is essential to reinforce the principles of transparency and responsible governance.

In highlighting the broader implications, Verma noted that the accusations should be treated as a wake-up call for the state’s political and administrative machinery. She reiterated that a thorough investigation is necessary to restore confidence in democratic processes and ensure that public office remains aligned with public interest.
