- Raising questions, Dr Nayak asked how ordinary citizens could expect justice if work at the collector level allegedly required bribes, and what the state government had been doing if this was the prevailing reality.
- He claimed that in several districts over the past two years, collectors have faced serious corruption allegations without effective action.
- Citing Ashoknagar, he referred to allegations of a Rs 3 crore bribe linked to a collector’s transfer, and in Bhind, he pointed to a public dispute between the collector and a BJP MLA over alleged illegal recoveries.
- He also alleged corruption in land, sand, liquor, mining and transfer-posting matters across districts.
- Describing the BJP’s governance as a model of “debt, crime and corruption”, Nayak demanded a statewide probe into administrative functioning, independent inquiries into allegations against collectors, and a clear response from the Chief Minister on the Chief Secretary’s remarks.
