Controversies
around Kamalnath
After being elected in Madhya Pradesh as Chief Ministry Kamalnath has kicked up a controversy. He announced
the scheme providing incentive of investment would only be imposed after 70%
people from Madhya Pradesh get employment.
In
his first press conference he said people from states like Bihar and UP come in Madhya Pradesh and local people don’t get jobs. Even he himself was born and brought up
in Uttar Pradesh.
Politicians promote regionalism over the national interest.
Another
controversy happened in later November 2018 when Kamal Nath made 'Religiously - Provoking" statement where he said that It would be huge loss if the congress did not get 90% of Muslim
votes and a video circulated about that. BJP
took strong exception to the video. And Announced
that it will approach the election commission against the congress leader,
which is communalizing the election.
Kamal
nath is a senior most politician such statements can create chaos in the
country. Being in politics does not mean that to get votes politician has to play hatred among communities by giving communal speech which divide people. The whole concept of India remains in the diversity in Unity, which is beautiful in itself. Communal hatred already has cost the humanity a huge price, and he should maintain his respect and most importantly focus on development rather
than giving such controversial statements.
