2 ministers bow out of office in MP

Bhopal, Oct 21 (UNI) The Madhya Pradesh Government on Wednesday accepted the resignations of Water Resources, Fisherfolk Welfare and Fisheries Development Minister Tulsiram Silawat plus Revenue and Transport Minister Govind Singh Rajput – both die-hard loyalists of Rajya Sabha Member and saffron camp stalwart Jyotiraditya Scindia.
This was a constitutional requirement as the politician duo are no longer legislators therefore cannot occupy ministerial berths for a period exceeding six months. They dispatched their papers to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan who forwarded the same to Governor Anandiben Patel.

Mr Silawat is trying his by-poll fortune in Indore District’s Sanwer Assembly constituency and is an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with the Congress’ Prem Chand Guddu who represented Ujjain in the 15th Lok Sabha. In 2018, Mr Silawat emerged victorious from Sanwer on a Congress ticket and went on to assume a ministerial mantle in the Kamal Nath administration. During dramatic political developments in March, Mr Silawat demitted office as lawmaker and followed Mr Scindia’s footsteps to enter the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Mr Rajput is in the fray from Sagar District’s Surkhi and his principal opponent is Ms Parul Sahu (Cong).

Cong sun is setting: Narottam

22 Oct 2020 | 1:38 AM

Bhopal, Oct 21 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra claimed on Wednesday that – irrespective of whether or not Congress state President Kamal Nath tenders an apology to Minister Imarti Devi – the Gwalior-Chambal electorate shall teach him a bitter lesson on November 3, which is voting day.
“That region’s populace will never tolerate insult of a lady during this festival that worships Shakti. Now, even erstwhile chief minister Digvijaya Singh is hinting at a ‘farewell’ to Mr Nath as the latter is ceaselessly disregarding his party’s apex leadership. The Congress sun is setting,” the senior politician conveyed via social media.
