BJP laps up 'Bhookhe Nange' slur to make MP polls Chauhan vs. Nath conflict Congress requires a clean sweep of all 28 seats going to bi-polls to go back to power in MP, while the BJP would have to win only 9 to keep power.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has turned into the effort for the upcoming by-election in Madhya Pradesh into a competition between"son of the land" Shivraj Singh and"entrepreneur" Kamal Nath.
Congress leader Dinesh Gurjar's"Bhookhe-Nange" (impoverished) jibe at chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has awarded the BJP the arsenal to accuse the Congress of being anti-poor.
VD Sharma, president of the BJP's nation unit, told HT that the statement reflects how detached Congress is out of the ground and also the contempt its leaders hold for the poor.
"We are about the people who have a very simple message that Kamal Nath is not a public figure, he is an'Udyogpati' (entrepreneur) who came to Madhya Pradesh to fill his coffers. He is not a leader, but merely a supervisor who was a'darbari' (courtier) for the Congress and the Gandhi family. The effort lays bare the five months of Kamal Nath government's misrule in the country," Sharma said.
From the campaign and the outreach through social networking, the BJP has been alleging that the Kamal Nath government moved schemes meant for the development of the whole state to his own constituency in Chhindwara.
"Take the case of an agriculture college that was sanctioned for the Bundelkhand region, it had been moved to Chhindwara. A Rs 1400 crore super-specialty medical school and irrigation projects meant for Bundelkhand and Bhind were also transferred to Chhindwara and 2.43 lakh houses under the PM Awas Yojana could not be built because the state government refused to release its share of 24% of funds due to their structure," Sharma said.
Bypolls will be held in the country on November 3 to fulfill 28 seats in the legislative meeting. Of those 28 vacancies, 22 emerged following Congress MLAs along with senior Congress leader and former minister Jyotiraditya Scindia broke off from the Kamal Nath authorities and joined the BJP.
The BJP, which has 107 MLAs, wants nine more to reach the half-way mark in the home, while the Congress with 88 needs to acquire all the 28 seats if it expects to come back to power.
On how the celebration will defend the government's Covid-19 containment response and the large-scale motion of migrant workers throughout the pandemic, Sharma said, the state would have been worse-off had the Congress already been in power.
"Swift action was taken to make certain that the hospitals have been equipped and there's provision for medicines and oxygen. In five months Rs 22,000 crore was moved to farmers; likewise welfare strategies discontinued by Kamal Nath were declared, so there is no anger against the government," he said.
In accordance with functionaries involved in the electioneering process, the BJP has set a goal of winning over 25 seats to give the authorities the cushion it needs to formulate a policy without needing assistance from independents or favorable parties.
"Campaigning has been done throughout the election jumped constituencies maintaining the Covid protocol in mind. But our Panna Pramukhs are given the duty to ensure that folks come out to vote in massive amounts. They have been tasked to relieve the fear that Republicans might have about voting throughout the pandemic," Sharma said.
Political analysts Shirish Kashikar said the jibe in Chauhan would operate in favor of the BJP. "While the party will surely gain from highlighting that jibe; the goodwill which Scindia has in the region is a large factor that will help the celebration gain electorally," he explained.
