Jitu Patwari plays down 'internal rift' claims in Madhya Pradesh Congress

MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari dismisses internal rift claims, accuses BJP of creating false narrative while highlighting unrest within ruling party against CM Mohan Yadav.

"Shivraj Singh Chouhan is making all his efforts to replace Mohan Yadav - Jitu Patwari"

Bhopal, Sep 20

Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari on Saturday played down the charges of growing internal rift in the party's state unit, terming allegations just a false narrative by the ruling BJP to show the opposition relatively weaker.

Patwari instead claimed that most of top BJP leaders in the state are engaged in destabilising Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's government.

He claimed that unrest within state BJP leader has reached at the level that one after another top leaders are complaining against CM Mohan Yadav.

"Shivraj Singh Chouhan (Union Minister) is making all his efforts to replace Mohan Yadav. Kailash Vijayvargiya... and some other senior ministers have united against Chief Minister. But the BJP questions Congress' unity," he claimed.

Patwari made this claim addressing a programme -- as part of Congress' ongoing 'vote theft' campaign organised in Rajgarh, home district of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh.

Addressing a large gathering of Congress workers and supporters from Rajgarh district, Patwari praised Digvijaya Singh, stating that veteran leader has been serving for Congress for past 45 years and strengthen party.

"If Jitu Patwari, Umang Singhar, Jaivardhan Singh or any other Congress workers are sitting together, BJP will question on Congress' 'Sangthan Srijan'," Patwari said, while calling Raghogarh MLA Jaivardhan Singh a charming young leader of Congress.

State Congress chief mentioned this while indirectly referring to controversy has emerged recently after Digvijaya Singh's son and former minister Jaivardhan Singh was appointed as district president of Guna, the Lok Sabha constituency which is being represented by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.

The BJP had then taken jibe at Congress, claiming that appointing Jaivardhan Singh as district head was a conspiracy to weaken him. However, Jaivardhan had then addressed a joint press conference with Patwari and responded to the controversy.

Jitu Patwari is right about BJP's internal issues. Everyone knows about the power struggle between Shivraj and Mohan Yadav factions. Congress should capitalize on this opportunity.

The real issue is that both parties are busy with internal politics while MP needs better infrastructure, education, and healthcare. When will our leaders prioritize public welfare?

Interesting how political dynasties continue in Congress with Digvijaya Singh's son getting important posts. Meanwhile, Patwari talks about unity. Seems contradictory no?

Congress needs to get its act together in MP. Instead of reacting to BJP's allegations, they should present a strong alternative vision for the state. Right now they just look defensive.

The 'vote theft' campaign is actually a good strategy by Congress. They need to connect with grassroots workers like they're doing in Rajgarh. More such programs across MP please!
