MP govt busy marketing itself as kids die of malnutrition: Rahul

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi Tuesday hit out at the Madhya Pradesh government, accusing it of doing nothing but only marketing itself at a time when children are dying of malnutrition in the state.

On a campaign trail in Madhya Pradesh where the assembly polls will be held on November 28, Gandhi said the problems of malnutrition, farmers' distress and youth unemployment are plaguing the state.

The Shivraj Singh Chouhan government has "done nothing" to resolve these issues, he claimed.

Addressing a public meeting in Sheopur city, he said, "Here children are dying of malnourishment, but the BJP government is not doing anything worthwhile to check it. Rather, it is busy in marketing itself and advertising the chief minister with photographs."
Urging people to give a chance to the Congress, he said state party chief Kamal Nath has the experience and senior leader Jyotiraditya Scindia has the strength. "They both will work together for the Congress."
