New Delhi sources stated that Congress President Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan using a famous Bollywood number as he also targeted "babas" who called off their "Narmada Ghotala Rath Yatra" after the state government granted Minister of State status to five of them.
Meanwhile as per report using wit and sarcasm, Gandhi took potshots at the manner of working of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state by using a popular song from the movie "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak". Moreover Ragul also attached a Navbharat Times news report that talked of the saints changing their course on their protest after being given Minister of State status. Accordingly Chouhan is referred to as "Mama" in the state.
Earlier the Chouhan government had this week
granted Minister of State status to five saints Uday Singh Deshmukh alias
Bhaiyyu Maharaj, Computer Baba, Pandit Yogendra Mahant, Narmadanand Maharaj and
Hariharanand Maharaj. Furthermore Bhaiyyu Maharaj said he would not accept
the Minister of State status. Madhya Pradesh will go to polls later this year.
