Don't
air grievances in public, Naidu tells BJP workers
May 14, 2008, Bhopal: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader M.
Venkaiah Naidu Tuesday warned party leaders and workers against airing
in public their grievances and views on the party's internal matters.
"Do not air views on internal matters in public. If you have any
suggestion, discuss it with the leaders and at the proper party
forum," Naidu said at the inaugural session of the party's two-day
Madhya Pradesh state executive meet here.
"Also, let the people in the government and the party form a separate
team and evolve a programme to visit all districts to review
fulfilment of promises made during last elections and speed up the
implementation of those which were yet to be attended," he said.
Naidu, who is also the Madhya Pradesh election in-charge for the
party, asked the party workers to launch a campaign on the Congess-led
United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
"The development works done by the state government on one hand and
failures of the UPA government and discrimination towards the state on
the other should be the thrust of our campaign," he told the party
leaders attending the meet. (IANS)
Congress demands Chouhan's resgination
May 14, 2008, Bhopal: Madhya
Pradesh's main opposition Congress Tuesday staged a day-long sit-in to
protest what it called corruption in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
government and demanded Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's
resignation.
Addressing a gathering here, state Congress president Suresh Pachauri
said the people of the state were suffering for want of electricity
and water while Chief Minister Chouhan was busy making announcements
only to cover up his government's failures.
"For the first time in the history of Madhya Pradesh, an FIR (first
information report) has been registered against a chief minister on
the directives of the Lokayukta (Ombudsman). Besides, his eight
cabinet colleagues are also facing inquiry by the Lokayukta. As such,
Chouhan should resign on moral grounds," Pachauri said.
Pachauri said the BJP government had failed on all fronts, including
power supply. He also alleged large-scale corruption in the
construction of roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
A congress delegation led by Pachaouri submitted a memorandum to the
state governor in the evening after the sit-in and demanded
appropriate action against the chief minister and the ministers facing
inquiries. (IANS)
