BJP's Madhya Pradesh chief demanded clarity on how Naxalism flourished under past governments as Rahul Gandhi toured Balaghat.
On Thursday, the BJP's Madhya Pradesh chief, Khandelwal, demanded answers about the rise of Naxalism during Rahul Gandhi's tour of Balaghat.
He pointed out that if the opposition leader had questions about the state's security situation, the party should clarify how Naxalism had grown under previous governments.
The statement came as Rahul Gandhi visited Balaghat, a region that has long been affected by left‑wing insurgency.
Khandelwal's remarks highlight the BJP's ongoing criticism of the Congress-led administrations for failing to curb the insurgency.
