"Since CM Mohan Yadav became the Home Minister, Madhya Pradesh exemplifies how police are assaulted. BJP workers act freely, even against the police. The Congress party will soon launch a series to highlight incidents where policemen have been attacked during Mohan Yadav's tenure. Every day, in every district, police are targeted. No other state sees this level of such incidents. Congress will launch a series on this soon," Patwari said. (ANI)
