On Monday, the 16th Madhya Pradesh Assembly’s 1st session started with controversy when Nehru’s picture was replaced by Dr BR Ambedkar.

The Mahatma Gandhi portrait is still shown on one side, but one side is replaced by Ambedkar’s picture. , Congress reacted and objected to this change and demanded that Jawaharlal Nehru’s picture be restored. The Congress party warned that if Nehru’s picture is not restored, then the MLAs would do it themselves.
The first session after the elections
The consultation began with pro-tem speaker Gopal Bhargava. He welcomed the newly-elected members to the House and started the process of administration. The four-day wintry weather session started out nearly every week after the new Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government below Chief Minister Mohan Yadav took office.
The pro-tem Speaker informed the residents that Umang Singhar from the Congress had been elected through the party because of the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in a cabinet-level post in the assembly. The BJP has nominated senior chief and former Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar for the post of assembly speaker.
Why controversy occurs
A controversy erupted in Madhya Pradesh after a portrait of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, located at the back of the Speaker’s seat, was replaced with BR Ambedkar. Alleging a “conspiracy” through the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to change history, Congress said the party MPs will increase the problem in the House. Congress also stated they demanded to change the portrait of BR Ambedkar, but that of Jawaharlal Nehru needs to not be taken down.
“It becomes a conspiracy of the BJP to trade records. We welcome the installation of the poster of BR Ambedkar, but it’s highly objectionable that they removed the picture of Nehru.
Congress, in support of Nehru’s portray
