BHOPAL: Former chief minister Kamal Nath on Saturday launched a scathing attack on MP chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the BJP government on Saturday.
Nath took a dig at Chouhan, who had protested against the erstwhile Congress government for permitting liquor shop licence holders to start sub-shops.
“Shivrajji, in the Opposition used to hold demonstrations against liquor sale, used to give speeches and protest, would say that alcohol is a threat to sisters and daughters and accused that the state has turned into an alcohol centre,” Nath tweeted.

“Today in power, when in the lockdown period all religious places of worship including temple-mosques-gurdwaras are closed, when dairy and medicine shops are shut and ration shops are closed -- in these times liquor shops have been opened,” the senior Congress leader said.
The former Union minister also tweeted that common man, religious heads and even liquor dealers are demanding closure of liquor shops because of the dangers of coronavirus spread. “But Chouhan and his government have forcibly opened the liquor shops,” Nath said.
“This is the difference between his speech and action. Even if the corona infection spreads in the state, it is necessary to earn from liquor sales. Don’t know where this state is going,” Nath said.

Regarding the increase in the number of corona-infected patients, the former chief minister said, “Within a month and a half, the BJP government has changed the picture of the state. The number of corona infected in the state is 3,400, number of deaths has crossed 200. MP is being discussed in the country. for the wrong reasons.”
Nath further tweeted, “The situation in Bhopal and Indore is very serious and alarming.” He claimed through the tweets that the number of corona infected districts is increasing and reached more than 35, even the nine green zone districts have also reported Covid-19 cases. The calamity is now approaching the villages, he said.
“Madhya Pradesh lacks protection equipment and testing kits. Corona warriors are getting infected every day. Testing reports are coming after 10 to 15 days. Daily there is an increase in sample pendency due to which the data of infection and death is increasing considerably,” the state Congress president said.
