TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought to mock at the Congress challenge to the BJP’s 15-year-rule in Madhya Pradesh, saying it has three chief ministerial candidates with each pulling the other down and that it cannot think of the state’s development.
In a video interaction with party workers of five Lok Sabha seats, Modi claimed that more than a dozen Congress leaders were also nursing chief ministerial ambitions in the state which, he added has been transformed from “bimaru” (sick) to “bemisal” (unparalleled) by the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government.
He said the Congress was issueless in the poll-bound state and had become desperate due to all-round development works of the ruling state government. In desperation after finding no issues to oppose the BJP, the Congress used photos from Pakistan and Bangladesh to target the state government and also resorted to “fake news”, he alleged.
Modi said he saw on a TV programme that over 90 per cent of first time girl voters, who had taken part in an event in Sagar in the state, supported the BJP. “The Congress has three chief ministerial candidates and over a dozen are in queue,” he said, apparently referring to Kamal Nath, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Digvijaya Singh, three main leaders of the opposition party in the state.
