BHOPAL: State Congress president Kamal Nath on Monday faced the ire of upper-caste protesters in Morena when he reached there to address a public meeting on Saturday evening. Kamal Nath accompanied by leader of opposition Ajay Singh were greeted with black flags and anti-quota slogans on the town's Nainagarh Road when they were travelling towards the public meeting venue. A large gathering of protesters was standing with Congress workers and scuffled with the police as Nath's convoy passed by.In the early morning hours, Congress workers who were out in the town asking traders to observe the Bharat Bandh against rising fuel prices, also found posters of Kamal Nath blackened with ink. These posters were installed to welcome the leader to the town for the public meeting.Neither Kamal Nath nor Ajay Singh commented on the black flags or the blackened posters. State Congress, however, pinned the blame on the ruling BJP for the blackened posters. PCC media coordinator Narendra Saluja said, "The damaged posters are a conspiracy of the BJP which is dismayed by the massive crowds attending our state Congress president's public meetings."State Congress media committee vice-president Bhupendra Gupta said, "The BJP is crossing all limits and political ethics means little to them. The ruling party is purposely creating an environment whereby, election campaigning for the upcoming assembly becomes unruly. But their ugly face has been exposed before the people and when the elections come, not their posters but their faces will be blackened by the people."Unfazed by the distorted posters and black-flags welcome, Kamal Nath addressed the public meeting in Morena. He appealed to the people of the Chambal districts to "send back chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to his ancestral Jait village". "I am concerned about the unemployed youth of the state. I am also anxious about the 2,200 youth who are in jail because of the Vyapam irregularities. Those who were compelled to pay bribes are behind bars and the persons who accepted the money are in the government," he said.Three days after a deputy forest ranger was crushed to death by a tractor carrying illegally mined sand, Kamal Nath claimed that if the Congress comes to power, a fresh sand mining policy will be prepared. He said that Congress government's every policy will be made keeping employment generation for the youth as a priority. "The Congress party has freed the country from British rule. The same Congress will free the nation from the rule of dishonest persons," he said.Nath promised that farm loans and electricity dues will be waived. "Goshalas will be started at the panchayats for cow protection. Every woman will be given safety and protection," he said. Nath claimed Congress will start a medical college in Morena. He alleged BJP does politics of announcements and corruption while Congress makes policies to generate employment. "I want every youth of Madhya Pradesh to feel proud when he says be belongs to this state," Kamal Nath said.
