The ruling Congress in Madhya Pradesh lashed out at Governor Anandiben Patel Sunday after a video where she is purportedly seen telling a group of people to keep Prime Minister Narendra Modi in mind went viral.
Patel, a former Gujarat chief minister, was acting as if she was still a worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and not a governor, the Congress alleged.
The video was apparently shot during Patel's visit to a solar power plant at Gudh in Rewa district Saturday.
During an informal chat with a group of local people, the governor was heard saying, "This is an excellent project. It will benefit you all."
When a person said they were happy to meet her face-to-face, Patel said, "Aisa (mauka) kai (baar) aayega. Modi sahab par dhyan rakho." (Such occasions will come often. Keep paying attention to Modi sahab.)
