Ahead of the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, the Opposition Congress on Monday held a strategy meeting here where it discussed plans to take on the BJP government and make corruption a key election plank.The meeting of the state's political affairs committee was reportedly chaired by Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath and AICC in-charge of MP Jai Prakash Agrawal.
The meeting lasted for two hours.
What was the meeting all about?
As per reports, the leaders primarily focused on making corruption a key election issue to topple the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government.
Congress is going to raise corruption, price rise and state's rising debt, among other issues, vociferously in run-up to the elections likely to be held by the year-end.
“Corruption is going to be our major poll plank,” a senior Congress leader told PTI.
Emerging from the meeting held at Kamal Nath's official bungalow, Venugopal expressed confidence his party would form the next government in MP while Congress MLA and former state minister Jitu Patwari told reporters that party leaders resolved to work unitedly to unseat the "corrupt" BJP government in Madhya Pradesh.
Patwari also claimed that the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government had "failed" on all counts and people are eagerly waiting to vote it out.
