BJP vs Congress MP: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) Dr Mohan Yadav on Saturday criticised Congress leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks on Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi.

Global tensions demand responsible politics

CM Dr Yadav noted that in the thick of conflicts between Iran, the US and Israel, serious global challenges have come to pass, and under these circumstances, the Centre has effectively been managing the supply of essential commodities, such as cooking gas and petroleum products. “At a time when the entire world is grappling with difficult conditions, the Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are ensuring efficient management of gas cylinders and oil supplies.

The Chief Minister further accused the Congress of engaging in conspiratorial politics, and opined that the public is well aware of the party’s actions.
