Kailash Vijayvargiya, the BJP leader who serves as a minister in the Madhya Pradesh government, is back in the headlines after a purported letter attributed to him went viral on social media. The letter claimed he had complained to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav about the alleged neglect of Indore city. As the controversy grew, Vijayvargiya stepped in to clarify that he never wrote any such letter. The Congress party, however, seized on the episode, arguing that Vijayvargiya's grievance was valid and that development work in Indore had indeed stalled under his watch. Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma has now weighed in with a sharp statement on the matter.
Why Verma Wants Vijayvargiya to Resign
Verma said Vijayvargiya himself has publicly aired his frustration on several occasions, claiming the chief minister does not listen to him and that even the transfer of a peon does not go through on his recommendation. Verma argued that if this is truly the situation, Vijayvargiya should resign from his ministerial post to preserve his self-respect. Taking a dig at the minister, Verma questioned what the point of holding such a post is if a person cannot even get his own voice heard.
Verma Predicts a Bigger Win for Congress
Turning to the upcoming elections, Verma expressed confidence that Congress would emerge victorious. He said the people of Madhya Pradesh are fed up with the BJP government and have not forgotten issues of corruption and injustice. According to Verma, public sentiment is clearly tilting toward Congress, and the party will win the coming elections by an even bigger margin than before.
On the 'Sleeper Cell' Question Inside Congress
Asked about the presence of a so called 'sleeper cell' within the Congress organisation, Verma said party leader Rahul Gandhi has already cautioned workers about this issue. He acknowledged that certain people within the party work to undermine Congress's efforts rather than strengthen them. Verma said it is essential to identify such individuals and remove them from the organisation, warning that the party's fight would otherwise keep weakening.
Youth Rally in Bhopal, Then a Gherao of the CM's Residence
Verma also revealed that Congress will soon hold a rally for youth in Bhopal. Following the rally, the party plans to gherao the chief minister's official residence.
