Former Madhya Pradesh CM Babulal Gaur joins chorus for probe into Kshipra clean-up row
Gaur said on Saturday that he would also raise the issue in the state assembly.
BJP MLA from Ujjain South, Mohan Yadav, had written a letter to the Speaker and principal secretary of MP assembly demanding a debate in the House on pollution in river Kshipra. Yadav has now the backing of Gaur and some more BJP leaders who want an inquiry into alleged high-level corruption in Kshipra river conservation plan.
“This is a serious matter as the state has spent a sum of Rs 650 crore in the cleaning of Kshipra during Kumbh. If sewage water is being released into the river through multiple sources after such a huge expenditure then government should take immediate action to check the contamination,” Gaur told TOI.
He further said that MLA Yadav had moved an adjournment notice and demanded a debate in the house. Since, the matter is being raised by both the ruling and opposition party members, the government should come clean on the issue and take immediate step to check corruption and pollution in the river.
“I will write to the water resources department to probe into contamination in river Kshipra as sewage water is still being released through various sources,” said Gaur.
Sources in the BJP said, on one side the state government has launched a massive awareness campaign to save rivers through its ambitious Narmada Sewa Yatra, while on the other contamination in Kshipra and allegations of large-scale corruption by the ruling party members has left the government embarrassed.

Former BJP Chief Minister Babulal Gaur baits his party as he's pictured waving the Congress flag
Former chief minister Babulal Gaur, who was dropped from the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet in the last reshuffle on age grounds, has baited his party - the BJP - once again.
Gaur, who was Home Minister just before he was dropped, attended an Independence Day function on Monday organised by a local Congress MLA and was seen waving the Congress party flag.
He was invited to Bhopal as chief guest in the annual paigam-e-mohabbat function, organised by Congress MLA Arif Aqueel on Independence Day.
Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Babulal Gaur now claims that he waved the Congress symbol by mistake, thinking it was the national flag
From Monday evening onwards pictures of Gaur waving the Congress flag went viral on social media.
The function was also attended by former leader of the opposition and Congress MLA Ajay Singh.
After being dropped from the cabinet, Babulal Gaur has reiterated time and again that he is a loyal worker of the BJP and will not abandon the party.
Congress leaders openly made offers to Gaur to join the party, but he refused.
Talking to India Today, Gaur said waving the Congress flag was not a deliberate act.
“When I was handed over the flag to wave, I thought it was the national flag. I did not realise that it had the Congress symbol of ‘hand’ on it. However, the moment I realised, I returned it,” Gaur said.
However, doubt has been cast on this claim because the flag and the Congress symbol printed on it were so large.
Critics claim Gaur is trying to feign innocence retrospectively in a bid to control the damage.

Rapes happen ‘accidentally’, says Indian minister in latest gaffe
Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation a
