Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Hemant Khandelwal on Saturday accused the opposition Congress of staging "drama" over farmers' issues, asserting that the party failed to introduce crucial beneficiary schemes during its tenure.
Speaking at a 'Kisan Sammelan' programme held at Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's residence in Bhopal, Khandelwal stated, "When Congress comes to power, they open fire at farmers like in Multai in Betul district. Congress leaders are doing drama to get more attention from the media."
He asserted that both the central and state Congress leadership are attempting to "mislead the people."
Khandelwal said the Congress never thought of introducing beneficiary schemes like Kisan Samman, Bhawantar, and PM Kisan Nidhi when they were in power in Madh
