Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has taken a potshot at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi saying why he (Gandhi) kept silent when the INDI alliance insulted Sanatan Dharma, women and dalit, is this his silent acceptance?
CM Chouhan made the remark while talking to the ANI in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Monday. "Rahul Gandhi is coming to Madhya Pradesh again today. I would like to ask him why you (Gandhi) kept silent when the INDI alliance insulted Sanatan (Dharma). Is this your silent acceptance? INDI alliance insulted women, you remained silent. Is this Rahul Gandhi's silent acceptance? INDI alliance insulted dalits and the way they treated leaders like Jitan Ram Manjhi, Rahul Gandhi you remained silent, is this your silent acceptance," asked CM Chouhan. The Chief Minister further said whenever he (Rahul Gandhi) visited the state, he talked about this and that. His party (Congress) ruled for many years in Madhya Pradesh. He should tell how many OBCs were made Prime Minister and which OBC was made CM in the state. Notably, Rahul Gandhi is in Madhya Pradesh on Monday where jhe wo;; in view of the state assembly polls scheduled to be held this week. The Congress leader is also scheduled to hold a roadshow in the state capital Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh is set to undergo polls on November 17 and the counting of votes will take place on December 3.
