BHOPAL (Madhya Pradesh): Former minister Jaivardhan Singh's tweet against the food and civil supplies department minister Bisahulal Singh has stoked a controversy by targeting upper castes and their women. A video of his statement has gone viral on social media of the minister.
Singh made a statement in an award ceremony for women held at Funga town of Anuppur district on Wednesday. He was chief guest in the programme.
