Madhya Pradesh Congress will hold a Statewide demonstration against the Central Government on Monday for its alleged step-motherly treatment to the State in view of providing relief to flood-affected people in Madhya Pradesh.
While talking to media persons here on Sunday, Congress State media in-charge Shobha Oza on Sunday said there will be a statewide demonstration against the Centre for its step-motherly treatment of Madhya Pradesh. Total 284 blocks of 39 out of the 52 districts in the state were affected by excessive rainfall and floods that came recently. The maximum damages were incurred by the state's farmers. Crops worth Rs 16,270 crore were damaged in the State. She further said that the State Government has demanded Rs 6,621 crore for relief works, but the centre is yet to act on that demand. "The BJP is a liar party. Bihar and Karnataka also faced floods. They were granted the relief amount immediately. But in Madhya Pradesh, the centre is yet to grant relief. There are 28 parliamentarians, 5 central ministers and 108 MLAs of BJP in Madhya Pradesh. They should act to get the relief amount from the centre rather than engaging in theatrics," she added.
Talking about the termination of Legislative Assembly membership of BJP legislator Prahlad Lodhi as he got sentenced for two years, Oza said, "Congress will win in the by-polls to the Pawai seat as well like it did in Jhabua."
