Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections: BJP leader and candidate from Indore-1, Kailash Vijayvargiya, launched a strong criticism against Congress, responding to the allegation made by Congress President Kamal Nath that BJP's manifesto is a copy of Congress's manifesto. Vijayvargiya stated that none of the promises made by Congress have been fulfilled, while the BJP is committed to fulfilling all the promises they have made.
Notably, the polling for 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh will be held on November 17 and the counting of votes will be taken up on December 3.
'Congress manifesto deserves to be thrown in garbage'
Vijayvargiya expressed strong displeasure at the allegation of copying BJP's manifesto in Madhya Pradesh. Taking aim at Kamal Nath, he said that the Congres have not fulfilled a single promise they made, whereas BJP will fulfill all the promises they have made. "You did not do even one of whatever you promised. We will fulfill all of whatever we promised. The difference between your and our manifesto is that your manifesto is eligible to be thrown in a dustbin and our manifesto is eligible to be fed into a computer so that people can see how we execute each and every promise," he said.
Vijayvargiya further said that the way PM Modi has developed the country and the state has made everyone happy. The Ujjwala Yojana has provided homes and gas stoves to the poor, and the food scheme has ensured ration for them. As a result, everyone is celebrating Diwali with great joy.
What Kamal Nath had said?
Taking aim at BJP's manifesto, former Chief Minister Kamal Nath had said that the BJP copied the Congress' manifesto. "They (the BJP) released the manifesto during the last days of the election and copied everything," said Kamal Nath. The former MP CM further alleged that the BJP does not have any vision of its own and just copies what Congress does.
