BHOPAL: Congress state president Kamal Nath has expressed that the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections can be held simultaneously.
Nath told the media persons in the state Congress Committee (PCC) office on Saturday that the matter should be serious when BJP national president Amit Shah wrote about the election commission of India to hold elections together. Nath said that he did not decide to contest the assembly elections. Nath said that Lok Sabha elections will be held after four months of assembly elections. They can be together and that is why they did not take any decision on contesting the elections.
Nath, praising former Chief Minister Babulal Gaur on the issue, said that Gaur was a real person. On the question of inviting Gaur to join Congress, Nath said that he would invite Shivraj Singh to join the Congress.
Nath said that during his tenure as union minister for urban development MP got the biggest fund allocation of around Rs 5000 crore from the centre.
He said this information was provided by NDA government’s minister for rural development Hardeep Puri in his reply to a letter.
Nath said that employment policy was not sound and youths could not get jobs so unemployment is the biggest problem in the MP. Investors are not coming due to corruption in the state.
Nath said he had toured eleven districts and Jyotiraditya Scindia and other leaders were busy in campaigning work.
Defeat is not the end of the party: Yadav
Youth Congress, national president Keshavchand Yadav, who was present with Kamal Nath at the press conference, said he would bring a demand letter across the country. It has demanded unemployment allowance, providing forms of examination free of cost, increasing admission seats in colleges and reduction in fees. Yadav, on the issue of Congress facing defeats, said defeat does not mean the end of the party.
