In MP, fierce heat, ‘thanda campaign’: Restless young talk of change but few pin hope on Congress
At a public assembly April 25, on the day Congress candidate Mahesh Parmar filed his nomination type in Ujjain, his get together’s senior Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Tankha mentioned: “We are going to get 10-12 seats in MP.” In the identical breath, he pared down his get together’s ambition: “If we get even 5…”
Different Congress leaders who addressed the smallish crowd that had turned out within the blazing warmth, together with Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari and visiting Rajasthan chief Sachin Pilot, spoke of what the BJP has executed fallacious and why it’s a risk — “we have to defend sanvidhan, lok tantra, aarakshan (structure, democracy and reservation)”. However the variety of occasions that leaders on the Congress stage mentioned “desh/janata ne Modi par bharosa/vishwas kiya (the individuals trusted Modi)”, earlier than speaking of how Narendra Modi allegedly betrayed that belief, seemed like an unintended homage to the extent of the Modi-BJP’s dominance — and an acknowledgement of the Congress’s personal uphill process in MP.
