India: Congress could lose power in another state | Gravitas

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday slammed the incumbent Congress government for blaming him for the shortage of urea in the state.

Lashing out at the Chief Minister Kamal Nath-led government, Chouhan said that instead of levelling baseless allegations at the previous dispensation, the Congress party should concentrate on running the state efficiently. Rubbishing Congress` claims of urea shortage, Chouhan told ANI, " Congress is in power in the state now, they should stop making baseless allegations and run the government efficiently. The state has already received more than 4 lakh metric tonne Urea till December 15, it should be distributed among farmers appropriately."

This comes amid the Congress government writing off loans of farmers in the state.

After winning the recently-concluded elections, the Congress government as promised, waived farm loans in the state. A similar announcement was made by the grand old party in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, where it uprooted the BJP and formed the government.

Madhya Pradesh: Shivraj Singh Chouhan lashes out at Congress over urea shortage claim

Former Rajya Sabha member Sharad Yadav today said the government was “interfering” in the judiciary after it returned to the Supreme Court collegium the recommendation to elevate Justice K M Joseph to the top court.

“It is a very serious matter and I will request the apex court judges to come forward and ensure that the people’s faith in the judiciary remains intact. “This (the issue of Justice Joseph’s elevation to the Supreme Court) shows that the government is interfering in the (matters of the) judiciary and all constitutional institutions in a big way,” the veteran leader told reporters here.

Uttarakhand High Court Chief Justice Joseph had, in 2016, quashed the imposition of President’s Rule in the state and brought back the Congress government led by Harish Rawat. The Congress had, however, lost the Uttarakhand Assembly election in 2017.
