Mohan Cabinet Expansion: Senior BJP leaders got angry as soon as Ramniwas Rawat became a minister

Bhopal: Mohan Cabinet Expansion: Six-time Congress MLA from Vijaypur (Morena) Ramniwas Rawat, who joined BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, was made the 19th cabinet minister on Monday on the 68th day of the Mohan government. This is the first time in the state that someone was sworn in twice in 20 minutes. Rawat took oath by saying Rajya Mantri instead of State Minister. This raised doubts about his being a cabinet minister. When this mistake was caught, Governor Mangubhai Patel administered the oath to Rawat as a cabinet minister.

Many senior BJP leaders are unhappy with Rawat being made a minister. They say that when the party is in power with a good majority, then what is the compulsion to make a Congressman a minister. Expressing his displeasure, Gopal Bhargava said that I have been an MLA for 15000 days, I don’t know under what compulsion Rawat was made a minister.

Before the oath, Congress was seen attacking Rawat and later BJP. Vivek Tankha wrote on X, ‘Ramniwas ji, it is your decision which party you want to be a member of. It would have been better if you had resigned from the post of MLA elected from Congress and then become a minister.’ In the evening, Rawat clarified that he had sent his resignation to the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat on July 5. AP Singh, Principal Secretary of the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat, said that Rawat’s resignation was received on Monday evening, which was accepted by the Speaker.

After Ramniwas Rawat took oath as a cabinet minister, MP CM Dr. Mohan Yadav congratulated him. The CM said, a new member has arrived in the cabinet. Rawat has been active in public life for a long time. He is providing effective representation to a district like Sheopur in Chambal region which has potential for development. As a cabinet minister, the entire cabinet will benefit from his experience.

When talked to Madhya Pradesh ‘s most senior 9th time MLA Gopal Bhargav, he said- I have been an MLA continuously for 15000 days, but only the top leadership can tell under what compulsion Rawat was made a minister. As far as the dissatisfaction among the workers is concerned, if you talk to them, they will tell you what is in their mind.
Today BJP is in a very strong position, but it was not always like this. We have prepared the party from its infancy. The party is in this position after nurturing it for years. When we were weak, many ministers including Digvijay Singh offered me to join Congress and give me a post, but I did not budge from my principles, nor will I budge in the future. Senior MLA Ajay Vishnoi said that this is a friendship of compromise. Morena was won on this condition, that is why for greater happiness one has to sacrifice the smaller. You should find out what message went to the rest of the workers. Sacrifice is made to be made by one’s own people, the second one has come with conditions.
Congress submitted a complaint to Chief Election Officer Anupam Rajan, saying that swearing in Rawat as a minister was a violation of the code of conduct. The complaint said, voting for the Amarwara by-election is on July 10. The campaign was ending on Monday.
After the election tour of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav was scheduled here, the swearing-in ceremony was held in the morning so that he could give the message to the public during the campaign that Rawat has been made a minister, let Kamlesh Shah win from Amarwara so that he can also be made a minister. A case should be registered and action should be taken.
Rawat has a lot of influence in the Chambal region. Rawat community dominates Sheopur, Morena and Shivpuri of Chambal division. Ramnivas comes from the OBC community. His gentle image and influence in the society benefited the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. After resigning, Rawat will now have to win the election in 6 months and reach the House again.
