Among the state leaders, Rahul has been mostly accompanied by state Congress president Kamal Nath and the party’s campaign committee chief Jyotiraditya Scindia during his programmes in Madhya Pradesh. Continuing his tirade against the prime minister, Rahul said Modi had “claimed that he wants to be a ‘chowkidar’ but he actually proved to be a ‘chowkidar’ of Anil Ambani, Mehul Choksi and Nirav Modi and has been working for them since last four years.” He said the cost of petrol and diesel has shot up drastically.
