Assembly elections in MP are due later this year along with Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh among other states
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday invoked Mughal-era poet Mirza Ghalib to mock the Congress, after which the Congress claimed it would win 150 seats in the year-end assembly elections in the central state.
The CM said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party will win more than 200 seats in the 230-member House of MP. The BJP also gave the slogan “Abki Baar, 200 Paar” (will cross the 200 mark this time).
Ghalib, this thought is good to entertain the mind, keep cooking the imaginary casserole. BJP will win more than 200 seats in the state.
Chouhan was participating in an event to highlight the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in the last nine years along with Union minister Bhupendra Yadav.
Speaking to the media after an election preparedness meeting at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in New Delhi, Gandhi said the party would continue its winning streak in Madhya Pradesh after emerging victorious in Karnataka.
Gandhi along with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge met top party leaders from MP, where all state leaders stressed the need for unity within the party. Former CM and MP Congress chief Kamal Nath and AICC in-charge P Aggarwal were present during the meeting.
Assembly elections in MP are due later this year along with Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh among other states.
