The Congressional government led by Kamal Nath lost power in Madhya Pradesh in March this year
Bhopal:
With the resignation of three congressmen from Madhya Pradesh in the past two weeks, former chief minister Kamal Nath on Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to protect “democratic values”.
There was an “anti-democratic pandemic” prevailing in the country to which the BJP was luring MPs to overthrow elected governments in states ruled by opposition parties, the Madhya Pradesh congressional leader alleged.
“I am sure … that you will come forward to save the declining credibility of Indian democracy by giving no place in your government and party to such opportunistic leaders who face accusations of trading in democratic values, so that India’s established identity as a nation with democratic neutrality, transparency and maturity will remain intact, ”the letter said.
The Congressional government led by Kamal Nath lost power in Madhya Pradesh in March this year when 22 party MPs joined the BJP. The congressional government of Rajasthan is also facing a political crisis.
The “overthrow” of his government was one of the most heinous acts in the history of Indian democracy, Nath said.
As the whole world fought the coronavirus, “a top BJP leader with … MPs traveled to Bengaluru to overthrow my government,” he said.
The federal structure is the beauty of Indian democracy according to Dr BR Ambedkar, but the same structure is now under attack, the congressman said.
Narayan Patel, Congressman from Mandhata, resigned from the Parliamentary Assembly on Thursday. Earlier this month, Sumitra Devi Kasdekar and Pradyuman Singh Lodhi had quit the party and joined the BJP.
