In a fiery speech at Shajapur, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav called for an apology from the Congress party, alleging obstruction in the construction of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya. Amidst a charged atmosphere, Yadav criticized the absence of key Congress figures like Rahul, Sonia, and Priyanka from visiting the temple site.
Yadav didn’t hold back as he targeted former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh, accusing him of showing deference to terrorists by addressing them with honorifics. He also took a jab at Rahul Gandhi’s intellect, likening him to “Pappu,” and criticized Congress’ track record on poverty alleviation despite generations of governance.
The Chief Minister intensified his rhetoric, predicting a bleak electoral outcome for Congress and comparing their previous success to dwindling seats in a metaphorical “tempo” this time around. He urged BJP leaders to proudly proclaim India’s cultural heritage abroad, symbolized by the Ram-Krishna lineage.
Highlighting ongoing hurdles despite the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Ram Mandir, Yadav insinuated Congress’s discomfort with religious sentiment. He accused Congress of harboring snakes in their chest over the temple issue.
Addressing crowd concerns, Yadav promised new industrial development in Shajapur and announced plans to integrate the agriculture department into existing colleges, bypassing the need for separate agricultural institutions.
The Chief Minister’s demand for a Congress apology over the Ram temple issue is expected to escalate political tensions and further polarize the region’s political landscape.
In a separate development, BJP candidate Mahendra Singh Solanki filed his nomination papers in Shajapur, with Chief Minister Yadav expressing confidence in the party’s electoral prospects and lauding efforts to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming elections.
