Stung by the bad press it received on the global scene following the Miss World pageant, which made headlines for all the wrong reasons, the congress government started attacking Miss england Milla Magee on Sunday. They accused her of making unfounded accusations and even implied that some of her remarks might have been made in exchange for money.
In an interview with the british tabloid "The Sun," Milla Magee, who left the competition on May 16, claimed that she was asked to mingle with a few guys as a token of appreciation for their financial support of the State government-organized event. The woman even went so far as to claim that she was made to "feel like a prostitute."
The State government, which has yet to form an inquiry committee despite grave accusations, hired Special Chief Secretary (Tourism) Jayesh Ranjan to contain the damage after the incident proved to be a significant embarrassment for telangana on the international scene. Ranjan said he had conducted a "personal inquiry" and "found no basis in her allegations," denouncing Magee's claims as unfounded.
Ranjan made the same statement in an interview with "India Herald," stating that he had "personally conducted a detailed inquiry and found no basis in her allegations."
The government also made public a video of a dinner in which Magee was seen with a senior IAS official and his family, claiming that it was the only dinner she attended and that the images did not support her claims. Ranjan said in an interview with a local news outlet that Magee had only attended one dinner event at Chowmohalla Palace before departing for england for "personal reasons."
The government also persuaded Ranjan to target ‘The Sun’, arguing that the tabloid to whom she talked “had a good history and generally did not sensationalize”. He reiterated that there was not a shred of truth in Miss England's accusations, but acknowledged that there were cases of "people offering money" and "getting others to make such statements."
He added that officials had conversations with potential competitors, including those from outside the United Kingdom. In the televised interview, Ranjan stated, "I spoke to the contestants from scotland and Northern ireland and they said they had not faced any issues at all."
After the competition was ended, the Special Chief Secretary promised to provide all the details about the incident, stating that there were still a few events to go and that the grand finale was set for May 31. "At the moment, I don't want to get sidetracked and waste my time on pointless problems," Ranjan stated.
Some contestants were reportedly approached by a few senior female IPS officers. The State government has yet to provide a suitable public response to the accusations, even though they are damaging Telangana's reputation internationally, hence there is no official confirmation of the same.
