Union Home Minister Amit Shah started the Janashirwad Yatra from Mandla on Tuesday and addressed the crowd virtually via his mobile phone. In his virtual address, he accused the Congress led by former Chief Minister Kamal Nath of turning the Chief Minister's Office into a Money Collection Office. He further alleged that the Congress Working Committee had become the Corruption Working Committee.
He went on to accuse Nath of being involved in multiple scams, such as the Rs 65,000-crore mobile phone scam, the Rs 300-crore Moser Baer scam, the Rs 2,400-crore AugustaWestland scam, the Rs 600-crore IFFCO scam, and the Rs 25 crore loan waiver scam, all of which took place mere moments before Nath's resignation.
Shah then praised the current Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for turning the state into a map of development in only 20 years. He said that the Congress government had closed 51 welfare schemes launched by the previous government when it returned to power in 2018. He expressed his confidence that the BJP would form the next government with 150 seats. He also said that the Congress believed in giving minorities the first right to the country's resources, while the BJP worked for the welfare of the poor.
Chief Minister Chouhan, too, addressed the rally. He promised to rescue people and farmers from suffering due to the drought. He announced the PESA Act being implemented in the state as well as the welfare schemes launched for the tribal people, and the medical college to be named after Raja Hriday Shah in Mandla.
Shah was then supposed to attend a rally in Sheopur, but his helicopter was denied clearance due to the sudden rainfall. He promised to visit Sheopur during electioneering. The rally was started by CM Chouhan from his residence, flagging off the Vikas Rath for the Janashirwad Yatra.
Overall, both the Union Home Minister and the Chief Minister have made it clear that the BJP is in poll mode in Madhya Pradesh. With the welfare schemes launched for tribal people, as well as promises of rescuing those affected by the drought, the BJP hopes to win over the hearts of the people of the state.
