The comparability by Congress basic secretary Randeep Surjewala prompted rival BJP to name the duo jail escapees and deceitful
Ahead of the Madhya Pradesh polls, Congress has equated its state president Kamal Nath and senior chief Digvijaya Singh with Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra who performed the roles of Jai’ and Veeru’ respectively in the long-lasting movie Sholay’. The comparability by Congress basic secretary Randeep Surjewala prompted rival BJP to name the duo jail escapees and deceitful.
Surjewala mentioned when some journalists requested in regards to the bond Nath and Singh share, he drew an analogy from Sholay. The relationship between Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan (in Sholay) is identical as between Singh and Nath. Neither Gabbar Singh’ (the movie’s lead villain) may get them right into a battle (in the film) nor will BJP’s Gabbar Singh be capable to get it accomplished right here, Surjewala informed reporters in reply to a query at a press convention in Bhopal.
Surjewala was requested in regards to the change in the candidates for some seats and the obvious variations between Singh and Nath over ticket distribution in the state. Alleging that a large battle is occurring inside the ruling BJP over ticket distribution, the Congress chief mentioned that his social gathering has taken the choice about the place ticket modifications have been required and this matter is now over.
They say such issues day by day to show their irritation. What is the issue of the BJP with our social gathering? There is love and coordination between Digvijay Singh, Kamal Nath, and all our leaders. This is for the event and progress of Madhya Pradesh, Surjewala mentioned. Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra performed the function of two pals Jai and Veeru, respectively in the 1975 blockbuster Sholay. In the film, the 2 pals flee from jail and are later employed by a retired police officer to face off with Gabbar Singh, a dreaded dacoit. Reacting to Surjewala’s assertion, state BJP spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi mentioned the comment has established the truth that Nath and Singh are just like the deceitful characters of Jai and Veeru, who escaped from jail.
These have been the film characters who escaped from jail. The identical is the situation of Mr Bantadhar (as BJP calls Singh) and Corruptionnath (Nath dubbed by BJP) in Madhya Pradesh. They have looted Congress employees. They looted most people at any time when they bought a possibility. No one was spared from these two, Chaturvedi mentioned. Earlier this month, a video of Nath emerged in which he purportedly requested his social gathering males to tear the garments of Singh over the denial of a ticket to a pacesetter from Shivpuri. This had fuelled talks of a rift in the social gathering over the choice of candidates.
However, the previous chief ministers sought to make mild of the episode and put up a united face. The BJP on Friday once more alleged that Singh has distanced himself from the campaigning following the dispute over ticket distribution. As BJP latched on to the video to focus on Congress, Nath had clarified that the relations between Singh and him weren’t merely political.
Polling for the 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh can be held in a single part on November 17 and votes can be taken up for relying on December 3.
