Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 6 : Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday took a potshot at Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi saying she comes to Madhya Pradesh and sets up a shop of lies.
CM Chouhan also asked various questions to Gandhi and said that she should answer it. Chouhan claimed they were engaged in serving the people of the state and asked what did the Congress party do for the state?
"Priyanka Gandhi ji should answer that the Congress party has become a quagmire in which the INDI alliance itself is stuck. When no one is trusting you then how will Madhya Pradesh trust you. Priyanka ji, you say that BJP has not done anything for the farmers. We are giving PM and CM Kisan Samman Nidhi. We are making irrigation arrangements, we are giving loans at zero percent interest. What have you (Congress) done? When the Congress government came, you broke the promise and did not even waive the loans of the farmers," Chouhan said.
The Chief Minister further asked Priyanka Gandhi that Congress leaders were telling the women of self-help groups that if they (women) support BJP then they (Congress) would not let the stove burn in their house and their children would die of hunger. Did Congress think that the children of the poor should die of hunger? Congress leaders were using this kind of language, you (Priyanka Gandhi) have to answer. Your party has become a cloth tearing party.
"Former CM Kamal Nath is saying, tear former CM Digvijays Singh's clothes. While Singh is saying, tear Nath's clothes. Congress has become divided into two factions, one faction of Digvijay Singh and the other faction of Kamal Nath and Congress workers are getting crushed between the two factions. Congress is a party which only wants to establish its family. Sonia Gandhi wants to set up her son and daughter. Kamal Nath wants to set his son and Digvijaya Singh wants to set his son. We are engaged in serving the people of the entire state. Priyanka Gandhi ji, answer, what has your party done?" Chouhan asked.
Reacting to Priyanka Gandhi's visit to the state, the CM said she was coming to Madhya Pradesh again. She came to Madhya Pradesh and only set up a shop of lies.
"Priyanka Gandhi comes to Madhya Pradesh again. She comes to Madhya Pradesh and only sets up a shop of lies. When she visited last time, she again lied that the BJP government had given 21 jobs in 3 years. Whereas the reality is that we have distributed 50,000 appointment letters. Now don't lie so much, Priyanka ji, 'jhooth bole kauva kate'," Chouhan said.
The chief minister further said that the Congress government broke the promise and did not waive the loans of the farmers. Why did you (Congress) stop the money of Baiga, Bharia and Sahariya women? You got the girls married, but why didn't you give money to them? Why did you snatch away the laptops of students? Why was the pilgrimage scheme for the elderly persons stopped? Madam Priyanka Gandhi would have to answer it.
Notably, in view of the upcoming state assembly polls, CM Chouhan On Monday addressed public meetings in support of BJP candidates on 7 assembly seats in the state. The seven assembly seats and BJP candidates include Rajendra Meshram from Devsar seat in Singrauli district, Siddharth Tiwari from Teonthar in Rewa district, KP Tripathi from Semaria seat in Rewa, Rajendra Shukla from Rewa seat, Nagendra Singh from Gurh seat in Rewa, Ramkhilavan Patel from Amarpatan in Satna district and Bhagwandas Sabnani from Bhopal Dakshin-Paschim seat.
Addressing the public meetings, CM Chouhan said, "On the 10th of every month, an instalment of happiness is credited in the accounts of the women, but this time the festival of Dhanteras is on November 10, so I will deposit money of Ladli Bahna Yojana into the accounts of women on November 7 only so that women can do shopping on Dhanteras. This is my promise that I will never let tears come to your (women) eyes, there will never be any problem in your life."
He further urged the public to vote for the BJP in the forthcoming state assembly polls scheduled to be held this month.
