A slogan has gained momentum against the BJP: 'na daru pe, na daam pe, vote lagegi Kunwar Ghanshyam pe' (No votes for liquor or money; vote for Kunwar Ghanshyam). This in itself sends a message regarding the betrayal the BJP has inflicted upon the people of Madhya Pradesh--betraying farmers, youth, and employees, committing injustices against Dalits and the downtrodden, and denying OBCs their 27% reservation.

Datia (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 18 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh PCC Chief Jitu Patwari on Saturday campaigned for the party's Datia Assembly by-poll candidate Ghanshyam Singh, expressing confidence that the Congress would register a comfortable victory by a margin of over 25,000 votes.
The Datia Assembly bypoll is scheduled to be held on July 30, with counting of votes on August 3. The by-election was necessitated after Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti was disqualified following his conviction in a fraud case. The BJP has fielded Ashutosh Tiwari, while the Congress has nominated Kunwar Ghanshyam Singh.

Patwari claimed that the Congress was receiving overwhelming public support and alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had lost the trust of the people.
"There is great enthusiasm and unimaginable public support. A slogan has gained momentum against the BJP: 'na daru pe, na daam pe, vote lagegi Kunwar Ghanshyam pe' (No votes for liquor or money; vote for Kunwar Ghanshyam). This in itself sends a message regarding the betrayal the BJP has inflicted upon the people of Madhya Pradesh--betraying farmers, youth, and employees, committing injustices against Dalits and the downtrodden, and denying OBCs their 27% reservation. These issues are being discussed in every household," the Congress president said.
