Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jitu Patwari has written to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, requesting the immediate dismissal of three senior cabinet ministers before the state Assembly’s Budget session starts on February 16. Patwari criticized the government for disregarding public opinion, displaying arrogance, and protecting ministers entangled in controversies and administrative shortcomings. He emphasized the importance of upholding democratic values and ethical standards in the state’s governance.
Patwari expressed concern that the government’s actions contradict public sentiments, fostering disorder, pride, and conceit. As the Budget session approaches, he criticized the expected address by the Governor for presenting inflated statistics amidst a severe economic crisis and escalating debt that the government seems indifferent to. The Congress leader pointed out specific allegations against ministers, including Tribal Affairs Minister Vijay Shah facing accusations of disrespecting the nation and the Army, and Health Minister Rajendra Shukla being linked to tragic incidents involving contaminated cough syrup causing deaths in Chhindwara.
Furthermore, Urban Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya was accused of failing to provide clean drinking water in his constituency, resulting in water contamination incidents and casualties. Patwari condemned the ministers’ continuance in office despite these issues, questioning the government’s morality, sensitivity, and accountability. He called on CM Yadav to demonstrate moral commitment and leadership by removing the ministers before the Governor’s address to show respect for public opinion and uphold integrity.
