Cong to target Shivraj govt over Satpura fire

BHOPAL: In the run-up to the assembly election, the state Congress has decided to corner the BJP government on the June 13 Satpura Bhavan fire that gutted the building and destroyed thousands of records.
A decision to this effect was taken at the party’s political affairs committee meeting held at the residence of former CM Kamal Nath on Monday evening.
AICC organization general secretary KC Venugopal headed the meeting along with Kamal Nath and in-charge of state affairs JP Aggarwal.
Briefing the media after the two-hour meeting, Jeetu Patwari said, “The most important issue discussed in the meeting was the Satpura Bhavan fire. Thousands of files of the secretariat were gutted in the fire and if the state government is running on 50% commission, then how is chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan an honest man? It means that chief minister Chouhan being the head of this 50% commission government is the most corrupt.”
Former minister and Congress MLA from Rau assembly seat, Jeetu Patwari said that senior party leaders have decided that the party will have to take the BJP’s bad governance door-to-door to the people of the state.
“Madhya Pradesh government tops the country for taking loans and increasing debts. Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan deserves a gold medal for taking loans. Who is number one in the country for murder of democracy and purchasing of MLAs? That too, is chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan,” Jeetu Patwari alleged.
He said that Congress will take the issues of farmers’ suicides, agrarian society riddled in debts, crimes against women to the people. “Candidates selection for the upcoming assembly elections, political strategy and vision of the party was also discussed in the meeting,” Patwari said.
