Amidst the fiasco to protect and maintain law and order in the city, BJP’s candidate from Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency Pragya Singh Thakur took the chance to take a jibe at the Congress in Madhya Pradesh.
Thakur also took the victim’s mother to a hospital, who much needed the medical attention considering she underwent huge shock and trauma
“Beti (girl), we will take revenge,” Thakur tweeted.
“Law and order situation in the state is in disarray….Kamal Nath has become the chief minister of (only) Chhindwara,” she tweeted further, referring to the Chief Minister’s Lok Sabha constituency.
