Addressing a rally in Mandla district ahead of the November 17 assembly elections in the state, Priyanka also reiterated the promise of caste census and claimed that Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and tribals are not getting jobs commensurate with their share in the population. Are meeting.

    The Congress leader said, “Recently, Bihar conducted a caste census and it was revealed that 84 percent of the people in the state belong to OBC, SC (Scheduled Caste) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) categories. But their number in jobs is very less. To know their exact number and to do justice to them, caste census should be conducted in the country.

    He said, “The BJP government at the Center does not want to talk about this…Injustice is being done to OBCs and tribals. They are not getting jobs as per their numbers. He said, we want them to be counted to provide them justice. He announced several ‘guarantees’ including implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for government employees by the Congress if it comes to power in MP.

    He said that not only free education will be provided to the students from class one to class 12th but under the Padho Aur Padhao scheme, Rs 500 will be given to the students of class one to eight, Rs 1,000 to the children of class eight to ten and Rs. Children of class 11th and 12th will be given Rs 1,500 per month. The Congress leader claimed that tribals who collect tendu leaves for livelihood are being given shoes instead of bonus.

    Priyanka said in the public meeting, “The size of these shoes also varies. They may be getting commission… Do shoes, slippers, umbrellas represent your respect? Is it your honor? You should be respected for your labor.”

    He said that BJP did nothing for the people in the last 18 years of its rule in Madhya Pradesh. He alleged that BJP remembers the people during elections and announces various schemes. Referring to corruption scams related to Vyapam examinations, mid-day meal scheme and scholarships, the Congress general secretary said there have been at least 250 scams in the state, where the BJP has been in power for almost 225 months.

    “It is unfortunate that employment opportunities have not been created in 18 years of BJP rule,” he alleged. Instead looting is going on. Emotions are being stoked in the name of religion to divert attention from inflation and unemployment at the time of elections.” Referring to former Prime Minister and her grandmother Indira Gandhi, the Congress leader said she is somewhat similar to her and hence, They will have to be more responsible towards the people, especially the tribal population.

    He told the gathering that his grandmother used to say that tribal culture is unique because it protects, nurtures and worships nature and believes in simple living. He said that the tribals had great respect for the former Prime Minister and they used to call her “Indira Mata”. The Congress leader said, “Indira ji provided the lease of (forest) land to empower you. It is the tradition of Congress to make you the owner of your land.”

    He said that his party brought the Forest Residents Act, Panchayat Raj, Midday Meal and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Guarantee Employment Act (MNREGA) for the welfare of tribals and to stop their migration. The Congress general secretary alleged, “Now the BJP is coming with these facilities. “Also, your rights are also being snatched away one after the other. When the Congress government came to power in Madhya Pradesh from December 2018 to March 2020, you got the lease (forest land lease), which has been stopped.”

    He said that if the Congress government is formed, there will be OPS in the state, gas cylinder for Rs 500, monthly assistance of Rs 1,500 to women, loan waiver scheme for farmers, 100 units of free electricity per connection and 200 units at half price, assistance to farmers for agricultural work. Free electricity connection up to five HP will be given and caste census will also be conducted.

    AAP’s election record in Chhattisgarh

    According to the report of news agency PTI, AAP had tried its luck for the first time in Chhattisgarh Assembly elections 2018 and had fielded its candidates on 85 out of total 90 seats, but was not successful. In the 2018 elections, none of your candidates were successful in saving their deposits. The election schedule for the 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly has not been announced by the Election Commission yet. The party had announced the first list of ten candidates last month.

    Purpose of emerging as an alternative

    In Chhattisgarh, the main contest has been between two parties, Congress and BJP. In the 2018 elections in the state, former Chief Minister Ajit Jogi’s party Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J) and BSP had contested the elections in alliance. The alliance had got seven seats. In the 2018 elections, Congress got 68 seats and BJP got 15 seats. Congress currently has 71 MLAs in the state. AAP is trying to get a better position in this year’s elections because JCC (J) is marginalized after the death of Ajit Jogi in 2020.

    Who got the opportunity from Madhya Pradesh?

    Aam Aadmi Party released its second list for Madhya Pradesh elections late on Monday night. It includes names of 29 candidates. Mohammad Saud has been given a chance from Bhopal North, Anurag Yadav from Indore-1 seat, Piyush Joshi from Indore-4 seat.

Engineer Deepak Singh Patel has been given a chance from Rewa seat, Vijay Mohan Pala from Patan seat and Anup Goyal from Shivpuri seat.

    Keep an eye on Congress’ stance

    It is noteworthy that Aam Aadmi Party has released its second list at a time when a lot of speculations were being made about the opposition INDIA alliance. It was being said that the opposition parties could unite and contest the assembly elections. Please note that till now no list has been released by Congress in both the states. In such a situation, eyes are fixed on the stand of Congress. It remains to be seen whether Congress comes with an alliance for the assembly elections or decides to contest the elections on its own.

  • Shah’s visit suddenly postponed, initiation of Parivartan Yatra from Dantewada, Raman’s sharp attack on Baghel government

    BJP started its ‘Parivartan Yatra’ from Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh on Tuesday. This yatra will pass through all the districts of the state via Bastar. Union Home Minister Amit Shah was to flag off this visit, but due to some reasons his visit was canceled at the last moment.

    Former Chief Minister Raman Singh, State President Arun Sao, Narayan Chandel were riding in the Parivartan Yatra chariot. Parivartan Yatra will reach Jagdalpur from Dantewada district. It is noteworthy that in the 2013 elections, Congress had taken out Parivartan Yatra but could not win. However, he got its benefit in 2018. This journey, which started from Dantewada, will conclude in Bilaspur. Opposition party BJP has planned two Parivartan Yatras in the state. The next yatra will be flagged off by BJP President JP Nadda on September 15 in Jashpur.

Rajya Sabha MP Saroj Pandey said as the name suggests, the state needs change from the Congress party and the Bhupesh Baghel government.

    Addressing the public meeting organized on this occasion, former CM Raman Singh targeted the Congress government and alleged that the Baghel government is indulging in corruption and looting the people of the state.
