MP Congress in trouble

In view of this, the State Congress president Radhakishenma Laviya, MP, has written a letter to Yadav asking him to be present at a meeting of the managing committee of Madhya Pradesh Congress here on November 21. According to the State Congress general secretaryand spokesman Manak Agarwal, Singh would also be present at the meeting where Yadav can place the demands of farmers. There is a possibility that some agreement between the Chief Minister and Yadav could be reached at this meeting, following which the former deputy chief minister’s agitation may be called off. But if an agreement between Yadav and Singh is not arrived at on Sunday, there would be no option left for Yadav but to proceed further with his proposed agitation. And if that happens, it remains to be seen what attitude or stand the state Congress or AICC takes towards the former deputy chief minister.

Yadav is allegedly unhappy with Singh for not including him in the Council of Ministers and this could well be the reason behind his decision to contemplate an agitation to support the farmers’ demands.

Apart from Yadav, other senior ministers of the first term who were not made ministers again are Rajendra Prasad Shukla, Hazarilal Raghuvanshi and Harvansh Singh. All of them are said to be sulking,but it is only Yadav who has come out openly against the State Government by insisting that it fulfil the demands of farmers.
