The Congress leader said he had earlier written to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav about the growing drug trade and the activities of liquor mafias in the state. He claimed that the government had failed to take strong action despite his concerns.

Patwari urged the chief minister to act against those involved in the illegal trade and demanded that the people responsible for the Sagar deaths be arrested within 24 hours.

He said that if the government did not wake up even after 15 people had died, it should question its own responsibility.

Meanwhile, Patwari also spoke about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s scheduled visit to Indore on September 19. He said the visit would focus on education and the future of young people rather than politics.

According to Patwari, Rahul Gandhi would discuss better education, employment and more opportunities for higher education for students during his visit.
