"Congress leaders are enraged these days as they are aware that the BJP will come to power in Madhya Pradesh for the third time in a row. Therefore, they have levelled false allegations against me and even hit me below the belt," Chouhan said, addressing a poll rally in Mhow town near here, from where state industries minister Kailash Vijaywargiya is contesting polls for a second time.
Targeting Congress for its misrule during former MP CM Digvijay Singh's tenure, he said that during those days, the state was known for its potholed roads and darkness because of shortage of power.

However, objecting to Chouhan's statement on the metro train, the Congress said that it is a violation of the Model Code of Conduct and filed a complaint with the Election Commission.
