BJP slams Chhattisgarh CM Baghel's 'saleable' jibe at Scindia; reminds of 'Congress loot'

Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia criticised Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel for his comments on Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. Bhatia said that comments show mentality of Congress party and that “ entire country kws who is 'saleable' and which family has looted country.” Earlier, Baghel had said that BJP MP Jyotiraditya Scindia was 'saleable' due to his inclusion in Union Cabinet as Minister of Civil Aviation. Bhatia claimed that Congress' legacy is drenched with corruption scandals. 

Bhatia said in a statement, "Bhupesh Baghel's comment on Jyotiraditya Scindia has shown mentality and declining status of Congress party. BJP gave a chance to a youth leader whose dedication and honesty have been recognised by party and have inspired him to serve public. This shows that whoever will shine like sun in Congress has to bow before lamp which is about to be extinguished or have to suffocate and leave party." He continued, "In regard to being saleable, whole country kws which family has looted people here and has used ir power for ir personal interest."

Bhatia opposed Baghel’s comments on proposed population control bill in Uttar Pradesh and said, "In 1970s, an emergency was imposed in country and forced sterilisation was done. For first time in history, 62 lakh Indians were forcibly sterilised and ir fundamental rights were violated. Wher it is Congress, SP, BSP or AIMIM are indulged in communal politics and consider a specific religion as ir vote bank. y do t bor about betterment of society and link policies like population control to specific religion. people have made up ir mind to finish such parties”

Bhupesh Baghel's comments

Baghel criticised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s draft of proposed population control bill and said, "BJP had opposed sterilisation program. Had program been carried forward in 70s, population would t have been so high today. Opposition had made this an issue to fight elections." Bhatia compared Congress to 'Titanic' and said that party does t have any leader, strategy or foresight to take charge of country. He said, “Congress is like Titanic and it will surely sink."
