Congress Party Criticizes BJP for failing to Announce CMs for Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan
Congress has criticized BJP for failing to announce the names of chief ministers in the 3 states of Madhya
Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan where the party has won in the recent Assembly elections. Party
leaders wondered what was causing the delay. Congress General Secretary commented on X – Less than
24 hours after the election results were out on December 3rd, the Congress Party was being criticized in
the media by all and sundry for a so-called ‘delay’ in appointing a CM for Telangana. Well, our CM was
announced a day before and is taking over at 1 pm today. But 3 days have gone by and the BJP has been
unable to even announce its CMs for Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Why is the BJP not
being called out for what is a delay?
