Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took a swipe at the Congress, likening its situation to Rahul Gandhi’s chopper that couldn’t take off due to fuel shortage.
In a public gathering in MP’s Chhindwara, Chouhan stated, “Today, Rahul Gandhi came to Shahdol. His helicopter couldn’t take off from here because of the lack of fuel. Similarly, the Congress has also failed to take off.”

He continued, “On one side, we are BJP workers, and on the other, there is Rahul Gandhi whose helicopter couldn’t take off. The truth is that Congress has also run out of fuel, hence it’s not going to take off. Rahul Gandhi is also not going to take off.”

Chouhan’s remarks come in response to recent controversies surrounding Rahul Gandhi’s statements, including his remarks on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections being an ‘election to save democracy.’
Chouhan further asserted that the Modi government’s governance over the past decade will lead it to a thumping victory in the upcoming polls, stating, “The ‘Abki baar, 400 paar’ pledge will turn into a reality because it’s not just us, people of the country are also backing it.”
