As electioneering gains momentum for the upcoming Assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dig at the Congress saying that it has three Chief Ministerial candidates with each pulling others down and that it cannot think of the State's development.

In a video interaction with party workers of five Lok Sabha seats, Modi claimed that more than a dozen Congress leaders were also nursing Chief Ministerial ambitions in the State which, has been transformed from "bimaru" (sick) to "bemisal" (unparalleled) by the Shivraj Singh Chouhan Government.

He said the Congress, which is out to challenge the BJP's 15-year-rule in Madhya Pradesh, was issueless in the poll-bound State and had become desperate due to all-round development works of the ruling State Government.

In desperation after finding no issues to oppose the BJP, the Congress used photos from Pakistan and Bangladesh to target the State Government  and also resorted to "fake news", he alleged.

Modi said he saw on a TV programme that over 90 per cent of first  time girl voters, who had taken part in an event in Sagar in the State, supported the BJP.

"The Congress has three chief ministerial candidates and over a dozen are in queue," he said, apparently referring to Kamal Nath, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Digvijay Singh, three main leaders of the Opposition party in the State.

"When more than dozen people have chief ministerial ambitions, then they cannot think of people's development. You should expose their lies to public," he told the BJP workers.
