Ahead of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Jan Aashirwad Yatra, Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath has written a letter to Lord Mahakal requesting to give former "comeuppance for his deeds."
Just like 2013, Shivraj Singh Chouhan is again expected to kickstart his poll campaign after seeking blessings from Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple in Ujjain.
"Five years ago during the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections, Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid tribute to you and pledged to make the best state. Now again, he is coming to seek your blessings. On the name of religious ideologies, again a game is being played to woo voters. (Dharmik aasthao ke naam par matdatao ko thagne ka khel khelne ki taeyari hai)," Kamal Nath wrote in the letter.
"The state today is in a fearful state. Farmers are forced to commit suicide and farming has been reduced to a loss-making venture. In Vyapam scam, the guilty got off the hook while innocent students and parents were jailed," he added.
Kamal Nath also claimed that the Narmada riverbed has been destroyed with illegal sand mining.
In the end, Kamal Nath requested Lord Mahakal to punish the Chief Minister as "comeuppance for his deeds."
He also requested to free the state from Shivraj Singh Chouhan's rule.
