Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan replied to Rahul Gandhi's claims of sweeping the assembly polls in the state saying, "Mann Behlane ko Rahul Khyal Accha hai (It is a good thought to amuse Rahul)." He said that these thoughts of Rahul Gandhi are delusional.
"I can give in writing that BJP will sweep the 2023 Assembly elections", he added, reported ANI.
Earlier addressing a press conference, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that there is no question of BJP winning the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls and Congress will sweep the elections.
"I can give this in writing that Congress is going to sweep the Madhya Pradesh elections. BJP will be seen nowhere. I can guarantee this to you. Every person in MP knows that BJP has formed its government using money", he told reporters.
The Wayanad MP said, "There is a huge undercurrent against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The fight between BJP and Congress is no more a tactical political fight."
Reacting to his comment, MP state minister Vishvas Sarang said that these thoughts are called "Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne".
"This is called 'Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne'. Only God knows what Rahul Gandhi thinks and says. BJP will again form majority government in Madhya Pradesh", he told ANI.
Elections in Madhya Pradesh are scheduled to be held in around the month of November this year.
