₹8,33,000 crore to the state of Madhya Pradesh. “If Congress has the guts, bring a report card of 50 years. We have created a tradition of accountability in politics.

Wherever our government is, we take accountability," Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal. “Congress gave only ₹1 lakh 98 thousand crore to Madhya Pradesh in 10 years from 2004 to 2014. Modi government did the work of giving 8 lakh 33 thousand crore rupees to Madhya Pradesh in just 9 years," news agency ANI quoted Amit Shah as saying.

While stepping up his attack on Congress, Amit Shah said that Congress stopped the initiatives that were started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He even took a jibe at the previous Kamal Nath government in the state calling it the “Corruption Nath" government. "Congress stopped the initiatives that were started by PM Modi and Shivraj Singh Chouhan...Congress crippled our 'Garib Kalyan initiative'...on social media, Kamal Nath's govt was called as 'Corruption Nath'..." the Union Home Minister said.

"In 53 years, except 6-7 years, the whole time it was Congress's govt in MP...In 53 years of governance of Congress, MP was known as a 'Bimaru' state..." Amit Shah added. The 230-member assembly of Madhya Pradesh is set to go for elections later this year. BJP has already intensified its campaign and released the list of candidates for the 39 seats, from where the party lost the election last time.
