Congress Election Campaign Committee in-charge and MP Jyotiraditya Scindia said the UPA government had given Rs 2000 crore to Indore under JNNURM but the BJP had turned it to a blunder known as BRTS. Addressing a public rally in support of Congress candidate Satyanarayan Patel, Scindia targeted the state government and said, “BJP government has brought unemployment to the state. Farmers are dying but CM Shivraj Singh is busy in patting his own back over the lies spread by them of development and prosperity in the state,” Scindia said.
He also said Congress will legalise the illegal colonies and will not raze down any house or shop in the name of legalization and development.”BJP has given note bandi (demonetization), people should give them vote bandi (no vote to them),” Scindia said while appealing to vote in Congress’ favour. Earlier, he had taken out a road show from Mangliya to Lasudia, in support of Sanwer candidate Tulsi Silawat.
