Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, who is leading the BJP campaign in the State in the first election since becoming the CM, says that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s decision to not contest from Amethi shows “his cowardice”.
Mr. Yadav, in an apparent attack on the Samajwadi Party, asks how a party, which has had Chief Ministers, Ministers, MLAs and MPs from one family, can speak about an entire community. The Chief Minister says that when he visits neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, he takes forward the message that someone who does not hail from the majority caste group in a State can also become a Chief Minister.
