At a press conference in Kolgaon village under Kukshi assembly constituency, BJP state secretary Jaideep Patel accused Congress-sitting MLA Honey Singh Baghel and former MLA representative Rajendra Patidar of misleading local farmers. He also accused them of sharing false information on social media against BJP mandal president Devendra Patidar.
The BJP mandal president was present at the event along with district panchayat member Chanchal Patidar. They warned Baghel and Patidar to remove the post within 48 hours or prepare for public protest.
Patel mentioned that the Congress MLA had posted a post on social media, falsely claiming that the BJP mandal president had extorted money from farmers. This post had gone viral and caused a lot of discontent among the people of the area.
Patel stated that the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had gifted many projects, one of them being the Belbaba project, to make farming a profitable business. However, Baghel was spreading false information about Devendra Patidar taking Rs 1200 from each farmer.
Chanchal Patidar added that in the past 20 years, five big projects had been allotted in the area for irrigation, which had enabled the farmers to prosper. This made Baghel nervous.
Devendra Patidar challenged the Congress MLA that if anyone could prove the allegations against him, then he would resign from his post and be ready for any punishment. He also said that if Baghel failed to apologise within 48 hours, legal action would be taken against him. He accused Baghel of falsely accusing the farmers, who supported the BJP, and asked him to tender an unconditional apology.
The BJP mandal president went onto explain that committees had been formed with two farmers from each village. Each of the members donated Rs 1200 and the receipt was given as well. The revenue would be paid to the government on behalf of the farmers. It was due to their efforts that the farmers were getting water in their fields and that their hard work was being falsely accused.
