Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari engaged in a verbal exchange during a State Congress meeting held in Bhopal on Friday.
In his resignation, Katare cited his inability to devote sufficient time to his constituency, Ater in Bhind district, as well as his family commitments.
Addressing media persons in Bhopal, Patwari reasoned that if cheap agricultural products from the US entered India at zero per cent tax, the incomes of Indian farmers would be completely devastated.
On January 19, the Supreme Court directed the state government to decide within two weeks on granting sanction to prosecute Shah for his controversial remarks against Colonel Quereshi.
Buoyed by the Court ruling in the National Herald case, terming the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) action illegal and malicious, the Madhya Pradesh Congress staged a protest braving water cannons in front of the state BJP Headquarters in Bhopal on Wednesday
The Congress leaders took out a march raising slogans along the way.
Patwari said that both the Union and state governments must return the difference of the higher GST paid by citizens over the years.
Addressing media persons at Jabalpur, Patwari claimed discrepancies in voter lists, and backed the allegations of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi about names of some voters present at multiple places in voting lists.
The rally was held in protest against the FIR registered recently against Patwari. Addressing the rally, Patwari stressed the importance of standing firmly with their values and fighting for the party's principles.
Surprisingly, the complainant against Jitu Patwari is the same man who had approached Patwari three days ago requesting the Congress Chief for help in regard to the same matter.
