'Congress Wiped Out in UP, Bihar, Bengal': CM Mohan Yadav Slams Rahul Gandhi
MP CM Mohan Yadav criticizes Rahul Gandhi, telling Congress to introspect on losses in UP, Bihar, and Bengal instead of protesting against the CEC.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has launched a scathing attack on the Congress party and its leader, Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of spreading anarchy through protests against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Speaking in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, the Chief Minister suggested that the opposition should focus on internal reforms and understanding their electoral failures rather than targeting constitutional institutions.
Call for Soul-Searching Over Protests
Yadav expressed strong condemnation for the recent demonstrations in Delhi, where opposition leaders demanded the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar following allegations of electoral irregularities. He argued that instead of engaging in disruptive tactics, the opposition must analyze why they are losing the confidence of the electorate.
"Politically, when a party gets a mandate in an election, the opposition should gradually play its role, strengthen its organisation, and study why people are against them," Yadav stated. He further added, "Instead, Rahul Gandhi and his people are just spreading anarchy, which is not right. I completely condemn it."
Historical Decline in Key States
The Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister pointed toward the historical decline of the Congress party in several major Indian states to highlight the need for deep introspection. He noted that the party's influence had already vanished in critical regions years ago.
"Congress was wiped out decades ago in Bihar, Bengal, and UP. So, Congress needs to do some soul-searching; they need to look deep within themselves," Yadav remarked, emphasizing that the party needs to address its fundamental weaknesses.
Contradictions in Opposition Stance
Yadav also highlighted what he perceived as a double standard in the opposition's approach to governance and institutional oversight. He questioned why the Congress party targets the Election Commission while simultaneously participating in government formations in other states.
"Why is it that on one hand they oppose the Election Commission, but on the other hand, their government is formed in Kerala? If they really want to, they should force a resignation, right? The public knows all this," he said, suggesting that the protests are politically motivated rather than based on genuine grievance.
Praise for PM Modi and India's Growth
Turning his attention to the current administration, Yadav lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ending the era of coalition politics that had dominated Delhi for three decades. He credited the Prime Minister's leadership for maintaining strong public trust through a single-party mandate.
The Chief Minister remarked that under Modi's leadership, the government has been able to run for a third term based on popular support, a feat he believes is a testament to the Prime Minister's stability. He concluded by suggesting that the opposition's current stance is driven by an inability to accept the nation's rapid economic progress.
"The opposition just can’t digest India’s economic power and the progress happening in all sectors," Yadav claimed.
