Congress party on Sunday demanded Madhya Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel's resignation, accusing her of working as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) agent.

The Congress party's demands and accusations came a day after Anandiben Patel was allegedly heard telling a group of villagers to take care of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She made the alleged remark during a visit to a solar power plant in Gudh in Rewa district.

"Modi sahab ka dhyan rakhna," Anandiben Patel said.

In April last year, a controversial video of Anandiben Patel had surfaced on social media, in which she was seen giving "vote mantra" to a BJP woman leader, advising her to take up the cause of malnourished children herself, instead of depending on government officers.

"These officers do not need votes, but we do," she tells the BJP leader -- Satna Mayor Mamta Pandey -- pointing to the officers in the video. The video was believed to have been shot during Patel's visit to Satna district of the state.

She had also advised Mamta Pandey and other party leaders to adopt poor and malnourished kids in the area if they wanted to get votes in the Madhya Pradesh assembly election which was won by the Congress party.

Slamming Anandiben Patel then, Congress party had said that it was unbecoming of the constitutional post she held.
