Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath on Thursday took a potshot at Chief Minister Mohan Yadav saying he should apologise to the people of Chhindwara.
The former CM posted on X, "Today, I read in the newspapers that Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is saying that everything is wrong in Chhindwara. This is an insult to the people of Chhindwara and foul play with the identity of Chhindwara. Chief Minister, you are calling the tribal community, the youth, the respected women, the labourers and farmers of Chhindwara a mess. You should immediately apologise to the people of Chhindwara for this grave insult to Chhindwara. The people of Chhindwara, however, will never forgive you for this act".
CM Yadav visited Chhindwara on Wednesday to participate in the nomination rally of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Vivek Bunty Sahu from the Chhindwara Parliamentary seat. The CM also addressed a public gathering on the occasion and launched the attack against Nath.
