Congress national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday launched her party’s poll campaign for the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly election by attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party Government in the State on corruption. She also questioned its record on providing jobs and keeping pre-poll promises.
Addressing a public rally in Jabalpur after performing Ma Narmada Aarti (prayers to river Narmada), she alleged that the Shivraj Singh Chouhan Government in the State was involved in 225 “scams” in the 220 months of Bharatiya Janata Party rule and provided only 21 government jobs in the last three years. The BJP has had an almost uninterrupted stint in power in State since 2003 except for when the Congress ruled for 15 months between late 2018 and early 2020.
