Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In his first speech in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a strong attack on BJP, saying the saffron party toppled the democratically elected Nath-government in 2020 in Madhya Pradesh. "BJP government in Madhya Pradesh is illegal. They stole our MLAs and create divide among the people."
On Siddhi pee-gate incident, where BJP leader Pracesh Shukla urinated on a tribal man's face, Kharge said CM Shivraj washed the feet of the tribal victim to compensate. "But, will washing his feet cleanse the urine that went inside his body?" he asked.
He further accused the ruling BJP government in Madhya Pradesh of charging 50% commission from contractors and public to get the work done.

'We preserved Democracy'
Hitting on BJP's constant questions seeking what has Congress done in 70-years, Kharge said "We preserved the democracy, we preserved the constitution. It's because of us the elections are still being held and its because of Congress that PM Modi and Shivraj are in power."
