Madhya Pradesh Congress Plans Jail Bharo Stir Over 62 Lakh Cases
In a state called Madhya Pradesh, a political party called Congress is upset with the ruling party, called BJP.
Congress says the government has filed 62 lakh police cases against its workers, which means lots and lots of court cases.
To show they are unhappy, Congress leaders decided to hold a special protest called a Jail Bharo movement.
During this protest, party members may let themselves be arrested on purpose.
The leaders made this plan in a big meeting in a city called Bhopal.
They also talked about other problems like unemployment and crime against women.
Congress also wants to go to a High Court because the government rejected one of their candidates for an important election.
Meanwhile, one leader could not come to the meeting because his airplane had a technical problem and could not fly.
He arrived late by car instead.
Congress is telling people that the government is not following the rules.
The Madhya Pradesh Congress announced a Jail Bharo movement to protest the registration of 62 lakh cases against party workers, allegedly by the BJP government.
State party president Jitu Patwari announced the protest after a political affairs committee (PAC) meeting in Bhopal.
The PAC meeting, held after the Datia by-election results, discussed government action against workers, Ram temple donation theft, unemployment, and crime against women.
Congress plans to file a High Court petition against the principal secretary of the Vidhan Sabha over the rejection of Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha election nomination form.
PAC member Nakul Nath missed the meeting because his aircraft failed to take off due to a technical glitch; Harish Choudhary arrived three hours late by car.
