PCC chief Jeetu Patwari staged a protest in Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, accusing the government of conducting elections like a match‑fixing exercise and questioning the nation’s future.
Sehore, Madhya Pradesh – In a dramatic demonstration on Saturday, Jeetu Patwari, the chief of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), surrounded a government office and launched a scathing critique of the upcoming electoral process. Patwari described the scheduled elections as a "match‑fixing" exercise, suggesting that the outcomes were being predetermined and would jeopardise the country's democratic future.
Addressing a gathering of supporters, Patwari demanded that the Election Commission and political parties ensure a transparent voting process. He warned that if elections continue to be manipulated, the nation could face long‑term governance challenges.
Local officials confirmed that the protest was peaceful, with no arrests reported. The PCC has called for an immediate review of electoral procedures and has urged the central government to intervene to restore public confidence.
The incident adds to a growing chorus of political leaders across the state raising concerns over electoral integrity ahead of the scheduled polls later this year.
