Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday released a selfie video in which he said that the FIR was being registered and the law would take its course. "The reality of those pretending to be on the Bharat Jodo Yatra is coming to the fore. PM Modi lives in the heart of the people. He is the centre of faith of the entire nation," CM Chouhan attacked the Congress.
"Congressmen did not face him in the field and a Congress leader is talking about the murder of Modi. This is the height of hatred. The real feelings of Congress are being revealed but such things will not be tolerated," he added.
Pateria later released a clarification video and said, "I am a follower of Gandhi ji and Gandhi's followers can not talk about murder. The video has been misinterpreted." Madhya Pradesh Congress Spokesperson Narendra Saluja Joins BJP.
"I meant to say that it is necessary to defeat him to save this country's Constitution, to protect minorities, Dalits, and tribal and to remove unemployment. My intention about the murder has been misrepresented," Pateria added.
