Madhya Pradesh’s Cooperation Minister Vishwas Sarang has reacted sharply to Congress state in-charge Harish Chaudhary’s statement about party leaders joining the BJP. Sarang: \”Congress lacks policy, has bad intentions, and is deficient in leadership. If you think you can run the state with ‘Mitti ke Madhav’ (figurative reference to weak leadership), it won’t work. BJP is in power, and a positive opposition is what we need. We are not the type to completely eliminate the opposition,\” he said. The grand old party had suffered massive defeat in both assembly and Lok Sabha elections. Many are in BJP, not because they have become ministers or legislators, but because they joined due to their ideological alignment with the party. Congress should reflect on why it is in such a situation, Sarang said. He added: \”He should understand the political climate in Madhya Pradesh and the state’s atmosphere. As for people leaving Congress and joining BJP, they are doing so to express their gratitude to the nation, not for any position\”
