Congress Leader Jitu Patwari Criticizes BJP Government in Ratlam, Predicts 2028 Election Outcome

Ratlam, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Jitu Patwari, the President of the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee, launched a strong critique of the state’s BJP government during a celebration in Salana on November 13. The event commemorated the birth anniversary of the late Minister Prabhudayal Gehlot.

Patwari accused Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav’s administration of neglecting the interests of farmers, tribal communities, and the general populace. He emphasized that only 813 days remain for the current government, predicting their departure in 2028. “The people of Madhya Pradesh will hold the BJP accountable in the upcoming elections,” he asserted.

Speaking at the Jain Dharmshala, Patwari began his address with a warm greeting to the audience. He discussed various issues, including government policies, farmers’ struggles, tribal rights, and agricultural concerns.

He questioned Dr. Yadav’s remarks regarding the significance of August 9, the date designated for Tribal Day, expressing disbelief that a Chief Minister would challenge its importance. “Tribals are the rightful owners of this land, and the government must show sensitivity towards their rights and dignity,” he stated.

Patwari claimed that the Chief Minister’s comments have hurt the sentiments of the tribal community, reflecting the BJP’s attitude towards them. He humorously noted that many citizens prefer Dr. Yadav to remain in office, as his leadership may pave the way for a Congress victory.

The Congress leader also condemned BJP MP Janardan Mishra’s controversial statement suggesting that farmers only work for three months and spend the rest of the year using drugs. In response, Patwari asserted that it is those in power who are intoxicated, not the farmers. “The intoxication of power is evident among BJP leaders, and the farmers will bring them down in 2028,” he warned.

Patwari highlighted the struggles farmers face regarding access to fertilizers, seeds, electricity, and irrigation. He criticized the government for failing to provide fair prices for crops and for allowing its schemes to exist only on paper. He pledged that the Congress would continue to fight for farmers’ rights both on the streets and in the assembly.

During the ceremony, he remembered Prabhudayal Gehlot as a champion for the poor, farmers, and tribal communities. The event served as a platform to promote Gehlot’s values and encouraged party workers to engage with the public to expose the government’s failures.

The gathering saw a significant turnout of Congress workers, local leaders, and community members, who frequently applauded Patwari’s remarks. He concluded the event by wishing everyone a happy Diwali and expressed confidence that Congress would form the government in Madhya Pradesh in 2028 with the people’s blessings.
