MP Cong protests against Shah’s remarks on Ambedkar
The Madhya Pradesh Congress staged protests across the state on Tuesday demanding the resignation of Union home minister Amit Shah over his controversial remarks on Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the working of the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, several former pracharaks and swayam sevaks of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have launched a new political party in MP called ‘Janhit Party’.
The disgruntled former RSS functionaries declared that their party would contest in the upcoming state assembly polls in the state in November this year. They also stated that if their new party does not get formal recognition before the polls, then they would contest as independent candidates.
