Congress Chief Jitu Patwari’s Controversial Allegations
The controversy began when Congress chief Jitu Patwari accused officials in Narmadapuram of paying bribes to secure their postings. Patwari claimed that a sting operation would expose the corruption, alleging that no official in the district obtains their position without financial transactions. “If you conduct a sting operation on the Hoshangabad Collector, now Narmadapuram, it will reveal the extent of money paid for the post,” Patwari alleged.
Call for Accountability and Apology
Chief Minister Yadav has called for reflection on Patwari’s comments and emphasized that such allegations undermine the reputation of dedicated public servants. He stressed that the state government remains steadfast in supporting its officials and ensuring they can perform their duties without fear.
Looking Ahead: Impact on State Politics
The dispute between CM Yadav and Jitu Patwari highlights ongoing tensions in Madhya Pradesh politics, especially in the lead-up to future elections. As the controversy unfolds, both parties will likely continue to navigate the impact of these statements on their political standing and public perception.
