It is widely alleged that on the fateful night between 2 and 3 December 1984, when the gas leak occurred, Arjun Singh fled to his Kerwa Dam palace to save himself from deadly effects of leaked gas.

He was not where he should have been to lead the administration as chaos prevailed in the state.

Arjun Singh's lack of concern was criticized by the media and the court.

While Arjun Singh was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, he was involved in the scandal called the Churhat Lottery case. The Churhat Children Welfare Society was floated in 1982 by relatives of Singh.
