Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘country will be on fire’ remark saying who even believes what he (Rahul Gandhi) says and what Rahul Gandhi says doesn’t have any facts or seriousness.
CM Yadav made the remark while speaking to reporters in Jabalpur district on Wednesday morning.
“Who even believes what he says? What Rahul Gandhi says doesn’t have any facts or seriousness. His own party doesn’t take him seriously, what will someone else do,” the CM said.
Addressing the public at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said, “If the BJP wins these match-fixed elections, and changes the Constitution, the whole country will be on fire. Remember this.”
CM Yadav further slammed the Congress party saying the election mercury was rising in the state but the Congress was nowhere, it was lagging way behind.
“The way the election mercury is rising, I am happy that Congress is nowhere, it is lagging way behind. Rahul Gandhi is responsible for it. He never took Congress or elections seriously. There is still some time, we hope Congress will come out of its internal conflicts and have some self-introspection,” the chief minister added.
Meanwhile, state cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya also took a potshot at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi saying he should not make such mindless statements.
“I think a leader of his stature should not make such mindless statements. With the kind of development that is taking place in the country, the people of the country are with the BJP and PM Modi. Perhaps the ‘fire’ in his (Rahul Gandhi’s) mind and that is why he thinks so. The country is making progress, and poverty is being alleviated. He should not say such foolish things,” Vijayvargiya said.
