Bhopal, Mar 20 :  Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon on Friday accepted the resignation of Chief Minister Kamal Nath.

Nath had submitted his resignation to the governor at the Raj Bhawan here around 1 pm on Friday.

"The governor accepted the resignation of Kamal Nath and asked him to continue as the caretaker chief minister till the new CM takes charge," a Raj Bhawan official told.

Nath's move of stepping down as the CM came a day after the Supreme Court directed that a floor test be conducted in Madhya Pradesh Assembly to prove that the Congress government led by him enjoys majority in the House following the rebellion by 22 MLAs of his party.

The Nath government had been teetering on the brink of a collapse after 22 Congress MLAs rebelled and resigned in support of Jyotiraditya Scindia, who had quit the grand old party and joined the BJP.

Bhopal, Mar 29 :  After announcing candidature of senior leader Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal, which the Congress has not won since 1989, the party is mulling fielding prominent leaders from other seats like Vidisha and Indore, where it has not tasted success for last 15 years or more.

Bhopal is considered a tough seat for the Congress along with Indore, Vidisha, Bhind and Damoh as the BJP has not lost in these constituencies since 1989 but the Congress is hoping to build on the recent victory in Assembly polls to dislodge the saffron party here.

Apart from these five, there are nine other seats out of the total 29 Lok Sabha constituencies where the Congress has not won during the 15-year BJP rule in the state.

Chief Minister Kamal Nath has represented Chhindwara ten times including six times in a row while senior party leader and Congress general secretary for Uttar Pradesh (West) Jyotiradiya Scindia has been winning from Guna since 2002. These were the only two seats out of 29 won by the Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha election which was swept by the BJP.

"The party will definitely field senior leaders in seats like Indore and Vidisha which it has not won since 1989," Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi told. 

"Like Assembly polls, our party this time has sought opinions of ground level workers from mandal, block and district to finalise the best candidate who can win from those seats where the party has not won for long," he said.

"The party had done similar experiment during assembly polls also and had got best results and the same is expected in Lok Sabha polls also because of anti-Modi sentiment in the country," he said.

The Congress' decision to field former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal has already raised the political temperature in the state.

Soon after Singh's candidature was announced, Ajay Singh, former leader of opposition and close confidant of Digvijaya Singh, demanded that the party should field other senior leaders from tough seats like Indore and Vidisha.

Without taking the name of any particular leader, he told that "the party has a very tall leader in Chambal Gwalior region and he should be fielded from other tough seats like Indore and Vidisha".

He was apparently referring to Congress general secretary and Guna MP, Jyotiraditya Scindia. Kamal Nath, Digvijaya Singh and Scindia have been leading rival factions in the party's state unit.

The BJP has not yet decided its candidate in Bhopal and there is speculation that former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan may be pitted against Digvijaya Singh. In 2003 also, Chouhan had contested assembly polls against Singh from latter's home constituency Raghogarh in Guna district.

There are 14 constituencies from where the Congress had not won during the BJP rule in the state, while the saffron party failed to wrest Congress stronghold of Chhindwara and Guna.

State BJP's chief spokesman Deepak Vijaywargiya said, "This time BJP will try to win all the 29 seats in the state and will field strong candidates of the caliber of Scindia and Nath in their respective constituencies." 

"The party will field the best workers from the remaining seats of the state so that it can win from all the constituencies," he said.

"Depending upon the opposition candidate, the party may also change its strategy at the last moment to ensure victory in each and every constituency," he added.

The fourteen seats from where the Congress has not won since last 15 years are -- Bhopal, Indore, Vidisha, Morena, Bhind, Sagar, Tikamgarh, Damoh, Khajuraho, Satna, Jabalpur, Balaghat, Betul and Rewa.

The Congress has announced candidature of Kiran Ahirwar from Tikamgarh, Kavita Singh from Khajuraho, Madhu Bhagat from Balaghat and Ramu Tekam from Betul.

Except Rewa, the BJP has been winning from the rest of the seats. In 2009, Bahujan Samaj Party's (BSP) Devraj Singh Patel won from Rewa while in 2004 and 2014, the BJP emerged victorious from this seat in Vindhya region bordering Uttar Pradesh.

Since 1996, the BJP has not lost from Morena, Sagar, Jabalpur and Betul while it is winning continuously since 1998 from Satna and Balaghat.

In the remaining 13 seats -- Gwalior, Jhabua, Shahdol, Mandla, Hoshangabad, Rajgarh, Dewas, Ujjain, Mandsaur, Dhar, Sidhi, Khargone and Khandwa -- there have been mixed results for the two parties during the last 15 years.        [Agencies]

Bhopal, Dec 12 (PTI) Three-time Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhhan Wednesday announced his resignation and said the BJP will not stake claim to form government in the state.

The Congress emerged as the single largest party in the state by winning 114 seats, two short of a simple majority. 

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which ruled the state for 15 years, got 109 seats.

However, it edged ahead of the Congress in the vote share by a slender margin, bagging 41 per cent of the total votes polled, while the Congress got 40.9 per cent.

"We have got more votes, but we will respect the mandate. We haven't got the required seats to form the government. We will not stake claim to form the government and I am submitting my resignation soon to the governor," Chouhan told reporters.

Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav have announced their parties' support to the Congress in Madhya Pradesh.

Bhopal, Sep 21: A three-year-old girl was allegedly sexually abused in a school van by its conductor, who was detained, police said Friday.

The incident took place Thursday when the girl, a pre-nursery student, was returning home in the Ayodhya Nagar area here in the van from her school, they said.

The van conductor was detained Thursday night, police inspector Baljeet Singh said.

"The accused is claiming he is 17 years of age. We are verifying his age," he said.

The inspector said the victim returned home around 2 pm and told her mother about the incident when she took her for bathing.

When her mother inquired more about the incident, the minor girl named the bus conductor, the police officer said.

The 14-seater van, in which the incident took place, has been hired by the school where the girl goes, the inspector said.

Her parents later lodged a police complaint against the van conductor, Singh said.

The accused was booked for rape under the amended Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 376 AB, which deals with punishment for rape of girls under the age of 12, and provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act, he said.

Last year, the Madhya Pradesh Assembly unanimously passed a bill introducing the death penalty for those found guilty of raping minors aged 12 years or less. (PTI)

Bhopal, Sep 6: Most private schools and petrol pumps in Madhya Pradesh remained closed Thursday, while markets and business establishments in parts of the state were shut in view of a 'Bharat Bandh' call given by some groups against the amendments in the SC/ST Act.

Police said the bandh has been observed in a peaceful manner with no reports of violence or clashes so far.

The state government has imposed prohibitory orders under section 144 in all the districts of the state ans security has been tightened as a precautionary measure.

The bandh has been called against the parliament amendment to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act after some of its provisions were read down by the Supreme Court, which was construed as its dilution.

Majority of private schools in the state remained shut, while in several districts including Bhind, Shivpuri and Gwalior, the local administration declared a holiday for educational institutions as a precautionary measure. Petrol pumps across the state have also been kept shut.

Brahma Samagam Sawarna Jankalyan Sangathan's national president Dharmendra Sharma said about 150 organisations of upper castes and OBCs are participating in the bandh.

The bandh is effective in almost the entire state, especially Katni, Vidisha, Sehore, Dewas, Indore, Gwalior, Jhabua, Chhattarpur, Mandsaur, Sagar, Ujjain and other cities, he said.

In Chhindwara, the Lok Sabha constituency of Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath, markets remained shut.

"Local residents wore black clothes in protest and business establishments remained shut," Vyapari Sangh president Mahesh Chandak said.

Chhindwara Superintendent of Police (SP) Atul Singh said, "Police were deployed in large numbers as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident."

Several people in Gwalior, Bhopal and other cities were seen sporting caps with 'Main hoon mai ka lal' (I am my mother's son) written on them. These words apparently referred to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's past statement- 'Hamare rahte koi mai ka lal aarakshan khatam nahi kar sakta' (No one can dare to end reservation as long as I am the chief minister).

Meanwhile, Chouhan appealed to the people saying, "Madhya Pradesh is an island of peace. I pray that we all progress and no one should try to disrupt peace in the state. I am available for everyone...for each citizen."

"The door of the chief minister and his heart is open for all. I appeal to everyone to ensure that law and order situation remains peaceful in the state and if there is anything they want to say, they should say it in a peaceful manner," he said.

Inspector General of Police (Intelligence) Makrand Deuskar had told reporters Wednesday that the administration in most of the districts have clamped prohibitory orders under CrPC section 144 in view of proposed bandh Thursday.

He said 34 companies of special armed force (SAF) have been deployed in different districts across the state.

Earlier this year, the apex court had removed the strict provision of mandatory arrests under the Act. This decision had triggered nationwide protests by Scheduled Castes organisations, forcing the Centre to bring an amendment to the Act during the Monsoon Session to overrule the SC order.

The Gwalior-Chambal region in Madhya Pradesh had witnessed a large-scale violence on 2 April this year during the 'Bharat bandh' called by Dalit groups. Now, the upper caste organisations are staging protests against the amendments to the Act. (PTI)

Bhopal, Aug 16: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan cancelled all his programmes scheduled for the day today to rush to New Delhi to enquire about the health of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who is in a critical condition.

Vajpayee, 93, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on June 11 with a kidney tract infection, urinary tract infection, low urine output and chest congestion.

The BJP veteran's condition remains critical and he continues to be on advanced life-support system, AIIMS said in a statement today.

In view of Vajpayee's ill-health, Chouhan cancelled all his engagements, including the 'Jan Ashirwad Yatra' scheduled in Chhindwara district, to go to Delhi.

"I pray to the Almighty for his speedy recovery. It pains me to hear about his health condition. I am leaving for Delhi," he told reporters here.

Chouhan said he had come close to Vajpayee when he fought the election from the Vidisha Lok Sabha in MP.

"I was then state president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha. It was my responsibility to campaign for him (Vajpayee). After he left the seat, the party decided to field me," he said.

Chouhan said when he won from the seat, Vajapyee, in a lighter vein, would call him "Vidisha pati", whenever he went to meet him.

Vajpayee was elected from the Vidisha Lok Sabha seat in 1991.

Chouhan said Vajpayee has been a true statesman and an inspiration to the party leaders. (PTI)

Bhopal, Jun 26 : The monsoon session of Madhya Pradesh Assembly was today adjourned sine die amid noisy scenes as members of the ruling BJP sought a discussion on the imposition of Emergency in 1975, while the Congress opposed the demand.

Speaker Sitasharan Sharma adjourned the House four times during the day due to the ruckus. But as the uproar continued, he adjourned the Assembly sine die three days ahead of the schedule.

As the House convened for the day's sitting, state Legislative Affairs Minister Narottam Mishra said it was a "black day" when Emergency was imposed in the country in 1975.

He said a 'censure motion' should be passed against the move of the then government led by Indira Gandhi.

Mishra, along with other cabinet ministers and members of the treasury benches, also demanded a debate on the censure motion.

State Home Minister Bhupendra Singh said the Congress should apologise for the imposition of Emergency.

However, members of the opposition Congress stood up and opposed the demands of the ruling party.

Amid the melee, Congress members started shouting slogans against the BJP. The Congress legislators, led by senior party MLA Ramniwas Rawat, then trooped into the well of the House.

Speaker Sitasharan Sharma later expunged some remarks made by members of the ruling party and adjourned the House for 10 minutes.

When the House reassembled after 10 minutes, the situation remained unchanged as the ruling party members, led by Mishra, continued to demand a discussion on the Emergency.

To counter it, the Congress MLAs raised the issue of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination.

The speaker tried to pacify the members of the treasury benches and the opposition, but the legislators did not pay any heed to it.

Amid the ruckus, the House was again adjourned for half-an-hour.

When the House reassembled, the din continued as BJP MLA Neelam Mishra, supported by Congress MLAs, alleged that the Rewa district police were trying to frame up her and her family members in false cases, and sought security cover.

After that the speaker again adjourned the house till 1 pm.

When the session resumed, the ruckus continued and the House was again adjourned for 15 minutes.

Later, Congress members demanded that the no-trust motion moved by Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh and senior Congress MLA Ramniwas Rawat be accepted. However, the members of the ruling BJP opposed the move and sought the passage of a censure motion against the Emergency.

The Congress members then trooped into the Well of the House and raised slogans. Amid the din, the speaker transacted the listed business of the house and adjourned it sine die.

This was the last session of the current Assembly before the state polls scheduled in November this year.    PTI
