A controversy erupted on the second day of Madhya Pradesh Assembly’s winter session as the Congress accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of replacing a portrait of the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru with a portrait of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on one side behind the Speaker’s chair.
On the other side behind the Speaker’s chair is a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi which remains in its place.
In a letter to pro-tem Speaker Gopal Bhargava, Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar said that Nehru’s portrait had been in place since the formation of the Assembly and claimed that it had now been removed without any reason.
