Mohan Yadav, a senior BJP figure, told Congress legislators in Madhya Pradesh to leave the state or risk imprisonment, alleging their ties to the liquor mafia.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Mohan Yadav addressed a gathering of Congress representatives in Madhya Pradesh, warning them to vacate the state or confront legal action. He alleged that several Congress leaders were linked to the state's liquor mafia, a claim that intensifies the ongoing political rivalry in the region.
Yadav's statement came amid heightened scrutiny of illegal liquor operations that have plagued the state for years, prompting calls for stricter enforcement. He asserted that any attempt by the accused leaders to remain in Madhya Pradesh would trigger criminal proceedings, including possible imprisonment.
The Congress party has not issued an official response to the accusations, but political analysts say the remarks could further polarise the already tense atmosphere ahead of upcoming local elections. Law enforcement agencies have previously investigated liquor‑related crimes, though no direct charges have been publicly confirmed against the named Congress members.
Observers note that the episode reflects a broader strategy by the BJP to portray the opposition as complicit in organized crime, while the Congress seeks to distance itself from such allegations. The situation remains fluid as both parties prepare for the next electoral cycle.
