MP Congress Chief Jitu Patwari Slams CM Mohan Yadav Over Rahul Gandhi Remarks

Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari on Monday responded to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's criticism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, urging him to maintain dignity while speaking about opposition leaders.

CM Yadav had criticized Rahul Gandhi and his family's political legacy during an event in Agar Malwa on Sunday. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi was spreading false information ahead of his 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign in Indore on September 19.

Patwari defended Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the government's policies, stating that it was not an attempt to criticize anyone, but rather a discussion about the collective responsibility for the security of education and the country's constitutional and administrative institutions.

Patwari also targeted the state government over issues related to examinations and education in the state, citing the Vyapam scandal and irregularities in the Patwari examination and police recruitment.

The Congress chief further urged the Chief Minister to maintain a respectful attitude towards leaders of the country, even if they belong to opposition parties. He warned that if the Chief Minister's language remained disrespectful, he would receive a similar response.

When asked about the expected turnout at Rahul Gandhi's proposed 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme, Patwari said the party had completed its responsibilities regarding registration and was confident about the event's success.

The exchange between Patwari and CM Yadav highlights the ongoing tensions between the ruling party and the opposition in Madhya Pradesh.

The 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign is scheduled to take place in Indore on September 19, and is expected to focus on issues related to education and employment.

The Congress party has been critical of the state government's handling of these issues, and Rahul Gandhi's campaign is seen as an attempt to mobilize support among young people in the state.

The response from CM Yadav and the state government will be closely watched, as the campaign is likely to have significant implications for the state's politics.

In conclusion, the war of words between Patwari and CM Yadav reflects the intense political rivalry in Madhya Pradesh, and is likely to have a significant impact on the state's political landscape.
