BJP holds protest across MP against Kamal Nath govt

The BJP held a 'Ghantanad' (ringing of bells) protest across Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday against the alleged "misrule" of the Congress-led Kamal Nath government in the state.

However, the state Congress rubbished the BJP's allegations and, in a counter move, held press conferences at all district headquarters to inform about its government's achievements since it came to power in December last year.

BJP state president Rakesh Singh said his party organised the statewide 'Ghantanad' protest to "wake up" the government so that it looks into people's problems, like poor roads, deteriorating law and order and various unfulfilled promises, including farm loan waiver.

After staging a protest by ringing bells at the Bhopal collector's office, Singh said, "It is not a good omen that a corrupt Congress government came to power after 15 years of BJP's good governance. Instead of common people, the interests of ministers and party MLAs are supreme for the Congress."
