Another BJP leader found dead in Madhya Pradesh, ex- CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan attacks Congress government

Bhopal, Jan 20 (IBNS): Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday attacked the Congress government over the deaths of two Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in the state in recent times.

Hitting out at the recently elected government in the state, Chouhan said it has made "death of BJP leaders one after another a cruel joke."

He made the comment after BJP leader Manoj Thackeray was found dead in Barwani area of the state.

Attacking the state government, Chouhan, in his series of tweets in Hindi, said: "One after the other, the killing of BJP leaders is a matter of serious concern. The state government is not taking it seriously. It is making a cruel joke of it. Popular BJP leader Manoj Thackeray was killed in broad daylight in the state home minister's backyard."

"Criminals have become bold. The law and order situation has crumbled under the present Congress government,"  he said.

Speaking on the death of Thackeray, senior police officials told NDTV: "Mr Thackeray had gone out for his routine morning walk. A blood stained rock was found at the crime spot."

BJP leader and civic body chairman of Mandsaur, Prahlad Bandhwar, 50,  was shot last week.

Chouhan said BJP workers will take to the streets if the criminals are not caught as soon as possible.

The Congress defeated the BJP in a closely fought contest to win the Assembly polls in the state late last year.
