Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Urges CM to Address Rising Crimes Against Women

Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Jitu Patwari urged Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to address the rising crimes against women in the state, claiming eight rape incidents were reported in 24 hours. Patwari criticized the BJP-led government for failing to fulfill promises and mismanaging finances.

In a fervent appeal, Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Jitu Patwari on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to tackle the mounting crimes against women in the state. Patwari, with folded hands, expressed his readiness to cooperate with the government in any way necessary to protect women. Addressing reporters in Jabalpur, he revealed that eight rape incidents, including those involving minors, had been reported within the past 24 hours.

'Eight rape incidents have been reported in the last 24 hours, including cases of gang rape and minors. I urge the state government and appeal to CM Mohan Yadav that I am ready to cooperate with you in any way you require; just ensure the safety of women in the state. I earnestly pray to CM Yadav: save the women of this state,' Patwari urged passionately.

Criticizing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership, Patwari stated that there was widespread discontent with the BJP-led government across Madhya Pradesh. Patwari accused the government of overlooking its failures and glorifying its misdeeds. 'Today, there is widespread outrage against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) across the state. It is evident that the state government's misdeeds are continuously being glorified, while the people of Madhya Pradesh have become disillusioned with the government in just eight months. If elections were held today, the Mohan Yadav government would be ousted,' said Patwari.

The Congress leader further alleged that the state government had failed to fulfill its promises over the past nine months. 'This government has not fulfilled a single promise in the last nine months. They have neither provided the promised financial assistance of Rs 3,000 a month to women under the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana, nor delivered the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs 2,700 per quintal for wheat, Rs 3,200 for paddy, or Rs 6,000 for soybean,' Patwari stated. Additionally, he accused the Yadav government of accruing debts and misusing funds by organizing events. 'The Mohan Yadav-led state government only takes loans and organizes various events with the borrowed money. What kind of government is this? The government is in debt, farmers are in debt, the public is in debt, the youth are unemployed, and chaos reigns across the state,' Patwari concluded.
