Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a dramatic turn of events, Congress workers ‘felicitated’ BJP state spokesperson Umesh Sharma during their ‘Tiranga Yatra’ which they took out to protest against the state government for toppling the Kamal Nath government two years ago.
Moreover, the congress workers also offered their party’s scarf to Sharma by saying that he always fought for truth and raised slogans in his favor including ‘Indore ka Neta Kaisa ho Umesh Sharma Jaisa ho’.
The gesture of congress workers not only left the BJP leader but also the congress leaders who were participating in the rally.
Later, informed the media that he was going to visit someone at a hospital where he met the congress rally. “Congress workers forgot their sorrow from being out of the government by seeing me. They were also shouting slogans of ‘Azadi’ as Kamal Nath supporters want freedom from Diggy while DIggy supporters want freedom from Kamal Nath,” he said.
The City Congress Committee took out ‘Tiranga Yatra’ and observed the ‘Sanvidhan Samman Diwas’ as Kamal Nath had resigned from the post of Chief Minister in 2020 on the same day after BJP toppled the government.

“BJP had toppled the elected Kamal Nath government in the state by unfair means exactly two years ago. BJP had insulted the constitution by forming the government by horse trading and Kamal Nath had resigned to maintain the respect of the constitution as he didn’t indulge in any such unfair means to remain in government,” City Congress president Vinay Bakliwal said.
MLA Vishal Patel also targeted the government and said people remember the 15 months tenure of Kamal Nath Government as he showed the way of development in the state.
“In two years, lawlessness has increased in the state and all businessmen, industrialists, and people are fed up with the corruption in the government. Kamal Nath government had taken various steps for the development of the state and people still remember his visionary decisions,” Patel said.
Large number of congress leaders including Rajesh Choukse, Chintu Choukse, Surjeet Chaddha, Raghu Parmar, Pintu Joshi and others participated in the foot march.
