Jitu Patwari Accuses BJP Of Influencing Datia Bypoll Result

Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to influence the Datia Assembly bypoll result through money and the bureaucracy.

While addressing a public gathering in Datia after the Congress candidate's victory, Patwari claimed that the district Collector and Superintendent of Police (SP) had assured the BJP they would ensure the party's win. He questioned the authority of the officials, asking if they were bigger than the people.

The Congress party has won the Datia Assembly by-election for the second consecutive time, with Congress candidate Ghanshyam Singh defeating BJP's Ashutosh Tiwari by 6,056 votes. During the 14th round of counting, the Congress secured 6,614 votes, while the BJP received 3,100 votes.

Patwari also took a swipe at Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, saying the BJP's campaign and the alleged use of government machinery failed to sway voters. He stated that neither the power of money nor the power of the government worked, and neither their fear nor their arrogance succeeded.

Invoking Goddess Pitambara, Patwari said the Congress had her blessings and suggested that no government or individual could be greater than the deity. He claimed that Maa Pitambara was watching everyone's arrogance and that no one can become greater than her.

The win is seen as a significant victory for the Congress party, which has been trying to regain its foothold in the state. The BJP, on the other hand, has faced a setback, with its candidate losing the election despite the party's efforts to influence the result.

The election result has also sparked a visit from Narottam Mishra to the residence of Ashutosh Tiwari, the BJP candidate who lost the election. Mishra debunked rumors of differences within the party, stating that Tiwari is like a brother to him.

The victory of the Congress party in the Datia Assembly by-election is a significant development in the state's politics. It shows that the people of Datia have rejected the BJP's attempts to influence the election result and have instead chosen to vote for the Congress party.
