  "account": "Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari responded to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's remarks regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday, urging him to maintain dignity when discussing opposition figures. Yadav had criticized Rahul Gandhi and his family's political legacy during an event to transfer an instalment of the Ladli Behna Scheme in Agar Malwa on Sunday, claiming a leader was touring the region with \"Jhooth Ki Goonj\" ahead of his planned \"Chhatron Ki Goonj\" campaign in Indore on September 19. Patwari argued that addressing concerns about education security should not be seen as an attempt to criticize anyone, emphasizing that Rahul Gandhi holds a constitutional position and raises discussions about the national interest.\n\nPatwari criticized Yadav's language, stating that if Rajiv Gandhi had never done anything, people would not have a mobile phone in their pocket. He also targeted the state government's handling of education and examination irregularities, accusing them of responsibility for the Vyapam scandal, irregularities in the Patwari examination, and police recruitment issues. The Congress leader called for a respectful attitude towards national leaders, regardless of their party affiliation, warning that disrespectful language could result in a reciprocal response.\n\nRegarding the expected turnout at Rahul Gandhi's \"Chhatron Ki Goonj\" event, Patwari stated that the Congress had completed its responsibilities by facilitating registration and making necessary arrangements. He noted that the party's role was to register participants and ensure proper arrangements, leaving the turnout to be determined by the attendees.\n\nWhen discussing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) proposed by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Patwari accused the BJP of diverting public attention from other pressing issues. He argued that implementing a UCC would require creating uniform education and employment systems, and questioned why the BJP repeatedly challenged the Right to Equality enshrined in the Constitution without addressing its own shortcomings. Patwari highlighted the country's current challenges, such as unemployment, inflation, and poverty, and criticized the BJP for misguiding the public and spreading hatred.",
