Jitu Patwari claimed the state government allocated ₹200 crore to thwart a quota measure, branding Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Mohan and the BJP‑RSS alliance as responsible.
Jitu Patwari, a senior Congress legislator from Madhya Pradesh, publicly alleged that the state government disbursed a sum of ₹200 crore with the explicit aim of obstructing a quota initiative.
He directly implicated Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, senior minister Mohan and the broader BJP‑RSS coalition, describing them as the "villains" behind the alleged financial maneuver.
Patwari made the accusation in a public statement, urging authorities to launch an inquiry into the purported misuse of public funds.
The Congress party has not presented independent evidence to substantiate the claim, and the state government has declined to comment, leaving the allegation unverified.
The episode intensifies political friction in Madhya Pradesh as opposition parties call for greater transparency on quota policies ahead of upcoming elections.
