Cong will regain power in MP, Chhattisgarh: Rao
Indore
Accusing the BJP Governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh of all-round 'failure' and corruption, the Congress on Monday said the main Opposition party in these States would regain power in 2013 Assembly election as its workers have zeal and unity to ensure victory.
While talking to mediapersons on Monday, AICC Secretary V Hanumant Rao said in the last seven-and-a half years of BJP rule, the people in these States have got sick of assurances given by Chief Ministers. Saffron and Sangh Parivar leaders and workers were using public money to lead a lavish life.
BJP Governments in MP, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka are "neck-deep in corruption" and their party high command is indifferent to alleged frauds and illegal deals taking place in these States, alleged Rao, who had been touring MP to take feedback of the party workers.
"In Chhattisgarh, a tribal Minister's son grabbed adivasi land for a private company. In Bhopal, 20 acres of land worth `400 crore was bought at throwaway price for setting up RSS Training Camp," the Congress leader claimed.
Six Ministers in MP were facing corruption charges, Rao said. "It is the Congress that took action against those facing corruption charges like A Raja, Suresh Kalmadi and Ashok Chavan. Let BJP go public with steps it has taken against Chief Ministers and corrupt Ministers," he added.
It is ridiculous that the BJP is raising its voice against corruption, inflation and blackmoney, he said and expressed confidence that Congress would dislodge the saffron outfit from power in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in the next Assembly polls. The BJP Governments were diverting the funds and grants received under the central schemes, Rao said.
Asked who will be the Congress' Chief Ministerial candidates in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, he said, it would be decided by the elected MLAs with approval from party president Sonia Gandhi. "There is no dearth of Chief Ministerial candidates in MP and Chhattisgarh, the elections would be contested under the leadership of Soniaji and Rahulji," Rao said.
To a question, he said, the newly appointed MP Congress president and Central Minister Kantilal Bhuria, was a competent leader. On the appointment of Indore Congress city and district presidents, Rao said, the nomination process was on and it will take some time to select the right candidates for these posts. Public issues of concern will find prominent place in the Congress manifesto for 2013 Assembly polls, he replied to another question.
