Congress came down heavily on the BJP while the ruling party denied its involvement in putting up the posters.
Posters accusing former chief minister Kamal Nath of corruption surfaced in election-bound Madhya Pradesh on Friday, sparking a war of words between his Congress party and the ruling BJP.
"Wanted Commission Nath," said the posters bearing Mr Nath's photo and a QR code in Bhopal's Manisha Market, Shahpura and Shaitan Singh intersection areas.
Congress came down heavily on the BJP, accusing it of "dirty politics", while the ruling party denied its involvement in putting up the posters and said it was the outcome of an internal rift in the Congress.
In Rewa district, similar posters labelled the former chief minister as corrupt, and a QR code led to the message, "Who did the farmer loan waiver scam of Rs 25,000 crore, CD scam of Rs 350 crore, mobile scam of Rs 1,963 crore, wheat bonus scam of Rs 1,178 crore, and fertiliser scam of Rs 600 crore?"
