People of Madhya Pradesh are suffering in Scindia-Nath spat, says Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Amid an internal spat in the Congress party between Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia, former MP CM and BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan slammed the Congress party on Saturday as he said that he finds the behavior and culture of the Congress very 'strange'. Chouhan stated that it is the people of the state that are suffering between the party's internal spat. He also added that the BJP could not perform as expected in the Delhi Assembly elections, but Congress despite losing badly was very happy.  

Speaking to media on Saturday, BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "Once a person was given a boon that if he asks for one thing, he gets two. So the greedy person asked for a boon to lose one of his eyes so that he lost both his eyes. Jyotiraditya Scindia is saying that he will take to the streets and Kamal Nath is saying that Scindia can protest if he wants. Between their spat, it is the people of my Madhya Pradesh that is suffering."
