Madhya Pradesh: Congress leader Kunal Choudhary calls BJP 'farzi party'

Addressing the reporters at the state Congress office in Bhopal, Choudhary said, "I would say that the Bharatiya Janata Party is a fake party. As in 2014, they (BJP) made fake promises like two crore jobs, bringing black money, depositing Rs 15 lakh in people's bank account, reducing LPG cylinder to Rs 200, reducing petrol and diesel prices at Rs a litre and doubling the income of farmers. These were the fake promises of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Fake promises of a fake party."

Fake promises and secondly their (BJP) fake guarantees. In the recent 2023 assembly elections, they (BJP) gave fake guarantees of proving MSP of Rs 2700 per quintal on wheat, increasing amount to Rs 3000 a month of Ladli Bahan Yojana, proving LPG cylinder at the rate of Rs 450, a house under awas yojana was talked about and employment for the youth. Every section was deceived, the Congress leader said.

He added, "Today the result of it (fake promises) is that the feelings of women towards them (BJP) have ended. In Madhya Pradesh, More than 11 per cent women reduced their votes to make the fake party sit at home."

Besides, he further slammed the saffron party over its new joining committee and calling it a fake joining team.

"They (BJP) have also formed a fake joining team. If 200 people join the saffron party, then it will announce that 5000 people have taken the membership," Choudhary said.

Meanwhile, Choudhary also took a jibe at Union Minister Amit Shah about the latter's claim of changing minister from the area which records less voting saying will the home minister change deputy CM and state health minister Rajendra Shukla as Rewa recorded 11 per cent less voter turnout in comparison to that of previous 2019 LS polls.

"Yesterday I was watching Amit Shah's statement, he said that where the voting percentage is less, the minister of that area will be changed. So then I calculated, first Rajendra Shukla will be removed. Yesterday, voting took place in Rewa and about 49 per cent recorded which was 60 percent during the previous poll. I challenge Amit Shah if you have made this promise, then remove ministers Rajendra Shukla, Prahlad Patel, Rakesh Singh, Uday Pratap Singh, Sampatiya Uikey, Dharmendra Singh Lodhi, Dilip Jaiswal, Lakhan Patel, Narendra Shivaji Patel, Pratima Bagri, Dilip Ahirwar, and Radha Singh. The list of these ministers has arrived that there is downfall in voter turnout reported in their areas. What I said is that it is a fake party, fake members, fake joining committee and fake promises." (ANI)
