MP BJP manifesto put aside, is Shivraj Singh Chouhan like Kansa and Shakuni?

The ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party in Madhya Pradesh has announced its Drishti Patra on November 17, Saturday. The party has released the manifesto for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh elections 2018. With the election battle heating up in the states like Telangana, Chhattisgarh including Madhya Pradesh, the Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia has personally attacked the state CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

As the political battle gets more intense in Madhya Pradesh due to its upcoming election, Jyotiraditya Scindia has taken to the Hindu epic Mahabharata to compare Shivraj Singh Chouhan with the characters Shakuni or Kansa. He has compared the CM with both these Mamas who had destructive characters not in favor of humanity.

The 47-year old Congress leader, Scindia also opined that, now, this is the right time to uproot the "corrupt government" in Madhya Pradesh that is ruling the state in tandem for 15 years. This is what he said while addressing an election rally on November 16, Thursday while campaigning at the budheybalaji ground for November 28 polls of the 230 seats MP assembly.

"Shivraj Singh Chouhan says he is mama (maternal uncle)...BJP says it is the sole protector of the Hindu religion...even if we agree to this, then what is written in religious books about the definition of mama?" Scindia questioned.

He also compared the state CM with 'Kansa Mama' who did all his best to annihilate his nephew Shri Krishna, whereas 'Shakuni Mama' gave all his endeavor to bring a catastrophic situation in the kingdom of Hastinapur. According to the Congress leader, Madhya Pradesh's present CM is "the third mama sitting in Bhopal's Vallabh Bhawan (the state secretariat). On the other hand, the Congress leader also accused the CM of being anti-farmer.

While promoting his party's theology, Scindia assured that if Congress government comes in power in Madhya Pradesh, it will put an end to the entire business of private companies, and the insurance will be given to the government companies.
