Newly appointed Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari has said that he hopes that Congress will win all the 29 seats in the Lok Sabha election scheduled to be held next year.
Patwari made the remark while addressing media persons in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain district on Tuesday. He reached here to offer prayers at Mahakaleshwar temple.
“I hope that Congress will win all 29 seats in the Lok Sabha Elections in 2024 and strategies will be made for it,” the Congress leader said.
Meanwhile, reacting to the removal of former prime minister late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s portrait in the MP legislative assembly, he said that it was sad that Nehru’s portrait was removed and he condemned it.
Patwari said,”Mahatma Gandhi was the hero of India’s independence, Bhimrao Ambedkar was the hero of constitution making and Nehru was the hero of the country’s building. I am happy that Ambedkar’s portrait was put up but it is sad that Nehru’s portraits were removed. What kind of politics is this? Why is this hatred towards a great personality who spent years in jail for the country’s independence and sacrificed everything for the development of the country?”
He added that when the government put up Baba Saheb’s picture, why did it remove Pandit Nehru’s picture, it would have been better if three pictures had been arranged.
“My request is, when the government put up Baba Saheb’s picture, why did it remove Pandit Nehru’s picture? It should have also been kept there. It would have been better if three pictures had been arranged,” the Congress leader said.
