Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jitu Patwari announced that the candidates for the remaining seats in Madhya Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls will be announced on March 27.
Jitu Patwari said, “By tomorrow, all candidates for the remaining seats in Madhya Pradesh will be declared. Under the Modi government, 500 MLAs have been bought, 17 governments have fallen, and more than 200 MPs have switched sides. Congress liberated the country, developed the country, and now Congress will protect the country.”
He also criticized the BJP, alleging that the government is once again plotting to undermine democracy.
“Those who are involved in illegal activities, those who are running buses, those who are involved in crimes and sell liquor, BJP has opened its arms for such people,” he alleged.
