CM Mohan Yadav ridicules MP Cong chief Jitu Patwari’s leadership, calls him ‘ineffective’

Posted on by Vividh Bharathi

Bhopal, May 31 (IANS) In a fiery public address, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav launched a scathing attack on State Congress President Jitu Patwari, using strong and derogatory language that has intensified the political slugfest in the state.

Addressing a large gathering in Shujalpur, CM Yadav ridiculed Patwari’s leadership and described him as ineffective. “Whenever the winds of development sweep across the state, their ‘do kaudi ka adhyaksh’ (worthless president) goes around wailing in despair,” he said.

He further remarked that a Congress president is one whose own candidate flees from his legislative constituency. Never since Independence have we witnessed a president like this. You will find names like these — individuals who lose by a margin of forty thousand votes — only within the Congress party.

The remarks have sparked a sharp war of words between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress.

Responding promptly on his X handle, Jitu Patwari hit back strongly, questioning the Chief Minister’s choice of language. He wrote, “Honourable Chief Minister, You called me ‘do Kaudi ka’ (worthless), you called me insignificant, and you even hurled abuses at me… So, are the sons of farmers truly worthless and insignificant in your eyes?”

Patwari drew a historical parallel, stating, “Even Atal-ji lost elections; Do these words, then, apply to him as well?” He then took a firm political pledge, “Yes, I take a pledge once again! In 2028, a government ‘of’ the sons of farmers — ‘of’ the people of Madhya Pradesh — one that is free from corruption and kickbacks — will definitely be formed, 100%!”

The state Congress chief concluded his post with a note of dignity: “The public is watching everything, Chief Minister; and one more thing — no one’s arrogance lasts forever. I humbly give my word that I will never use undignified language while referring to the Chief Minister of the state.”

The exchange underscores the growing bitterness between the two parties ahead of future electoral battles. The video of CM’s speech instantly went viral while both sides traded accusations of poor governance and lack of vision. As the state gears up for upcoming political challenges, such confrontations are likely to shape the narrative in the days to come.

Emotional farewell in MP’s Rewa: Students break down as their beloved teacher retires

Rewa (Madhya Pradesh), Jan 1 (IANS) The bond between a teacher and a student is built not merely in classrooms, but through years of care, guidance and silent sacrifices.

Such a bond was clearly visible in Rewa, where the retirement farewell of a teacher turned into an overwhelming emotional moment, leaving students, teachers and villagers in tears.

A deeply moving farewell ceremony was held at Kararia Upper Primary School in the Sirmaur Assembly constituency, around 37 km from the district headquarters. What was meant to be a formal goodbye soon transformed into a poignant scene of love and gratitude.

As Ganga Prasad Pandey, a respected teacher who dedicated 42 years, 10 months and 4 days to the education department, prepared to leave the school premises on December 30, emotions spilled over. Students clung to him, hugged him tightly and broke down, crying uncontrollably. The sight was so powerful that the retiring teacher himself could not hold back his tears.

Witnessing the students’ grief and affection, fellow teachers and villagers present at the ceremony also became emotional, turning the entire atmosphere solemn and tearful.

We may have heard countless stories about the sacred teacher-student relationship, but this incident from a government school in Rewa stood as a living example of that tradition. It reflected how a dedicated teacher can shape lives far beyond classrooms and textbooks.

Though words failed him at the moment of farewell, Ganga Prasad Pandey gently consoled his students, saying, “Don’t worry. Be a good citizen.” Holding the children in his arms, he showered them with affection one last time, a gesture that spoke louder than any speech.

As he walked away from the school gates, eyes moist and heart heavy, it was clear that while a chapter had ended, the values, discipline and love he imparted would continue to live on in the lives of his students.

While Hossain is a resident of Nalhati and Saheb Ali Khan is a resident of Murarai, both in Birbhum district.

District police sources said that they were mainly operating from Nalhati with the intention and brainwashing Muslim youths from the district to join the different sleeper cells of JMB.

“They did that by silently and selectively distributing jihadi messages among the youths and they used to spread these messages through encrypted messages on social media.”

Both the accused were presented at a district court in Birbhum on Friday and were remanded to 14 days of police custody.

District police sources said that initial investigation revealed that these arrested youths also had plans to create communal tensions in different pockets of the state using these brainwashed youths.

Different digital and paper documents have been seized from their possession which had proved their involvement behind the anti-national activities as well as their association with JMB.

The policemen have also seized Islamic literature published in Bangladesh from the possession of the accused duo.

However, their arrests have made their neighbours quite surprised since both were known in the locality as extremely well-mannered and not involved in any kind of local troubles.

Recently, after the Union Home Ministry received information from intelligence agencies about the alleged role of illegal Bangladeshi intruders behind the violence and vandalism at minority-dominated Murshidabad district over violent protests against the newly-promulgated Waqf (Amendment) Act.

The names of three Bangladesh-based fundamentalist groups are possible since all these groups had been quite active for some time in this district that shares international borders with Bangladesh.

These three groups are JMB, Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HUT), and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).
