Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the opposition alliance 'Mahgatbandhan' had to face a shameful defeat in the Bihar elections.
Addressing a gathering in Alirajpur on the occasion of Birsa Munda Jayanti on Saturday, he said that the Congress was completely swept away in the Bihar .
‘Kal jordaar jhaadu lagi hai Congress ki. Janata chahti hai, ye rajkumar ko ghar bhejna padega, Pappu ki chappu-tappu sab band hone wali hai…..(Congress has been strongly swept away. People want this ‘prince’ to go home. All of Pappu’s tricks are going to stop now),” he remarked.
He further attacked the Congress and Rahul Gandhi and said, “Vote ke adhikar ko lekar Bihar ko kitna badnaam kar diya tha…(The party had defamed Bihar over voting rights).”
