Congress General Secretary in-charge of Communications Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for electing Mohan Yadav as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. His remarks came a day after the BJP announced that Mohan Yadav has been chosen as the Madhya Pradesh CM.
Ramesh levelled some serious allegations on Yadav and claimed that the then state government allegedly made changes to the land-use pattern in the Ujjain Master Plan to benefit Mohan Yadav.
"Eight days after the election results, the BJP elected the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, a person against whom there are many serious allegations including large-scale manipulation in the Ujjain masterplan," he said in his post on X formerly known as Twitter.
He also said that several of his videos are viral on social media wherein he can be seen abusing, threatening and making problematic statements before questioning the decision to choose Yadav for the top job in Madhya Pradesh. A video featuring Yadav has emerged on social media wherein he can be heard using abusive language.
"Out of the 872 acres of land reserved for Simhasta, their land was alienated by changing the land use. Many of his videos are also viral on social media in which he is seen abusing, threatening and making objectionable statements. Is this 'Modi's guarantee' for Madhya Pradesh?" he further noted.
During the election campaigning in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress alleged that a land parcel reserved for use in the Simhasta Mela was de-reserved and its land use was changed to residential from agricultural. Mohan Yadav, his wife and sister allegedly own a chunk of land in that parcel.
