The CM remarked that 'Pappu' and the 'oarsmen' steering him are all cut from the same cloth

Attending an inauguration ceremony in Mahidpur, CM Mohan Yadav lashed out at the Congress party. He took a dig at Congress members regarding the Meenakshi Natarajan incident, stating from the stage, "Congress members, listen carefully: you didn't contribute a single penny.

Yet, when money is deposited into the accounts of 'Ladli Behna' (beloved sisters), Congress members claim the sisters spend it on alcohol.

Shame on you, Congress members; such is your character. That is why the Congress is suffering the consequences of its own deeds.

'Pappu' and the 'oarsmen' steering him are all cut from the same cloth." Without explicitly naming Meenakshi Natarajan regarding the nomination issue, the CM remarked that the party had handed the reins to a novice.

"If she crashes the vehicle in reverse instead of driving it forward, what can we say? She must answer for her own actions."

The CM stated that in the future, the world would set its standard time based on Dongla in Mahidpur. During the visit, the Chief Minister also inaugurated other development projects worth over ₹19 crore.
