Madhya Pradesh Vikas Congress (Madhya Pradesh Development Congress) was a political party in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh from 1996 to 1998. MPVC was founded by former aviation minister Madhavrao Scindia, after that Scindia had been refused an Indian National Congress ticket for the 1996 Lok Sabha elections. Scindia won a seat as an MPVC candidate as a result of hard work & strong campaign specially leaded by some strong congress politician and workers who resigned from congress for 'His Highness'.
MPVC joined the United Front.
In 1998 MPVC was reunited with Indian National Congress, after that Scindia's enemy within the Congress, P.V. Narasimha Rao, stepped down as party leader.
Famous quotes containing the word congress:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
