Congress lied to them: BJP leader hits out at Kamal Nath over OBC outreach

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India] 23 July (ANI): The BJP on Sunday opened its new Election Management office in Bhopal. The inauguration event was presided over by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, senior BJP leader Kailash Vijavargiya, and BJP's state president BD Sharma, among others.
Addressing party supporters at the inauguration event, BD Sharma said, "Our Election Management Office in Madhya Pradesh has embarked on its journey today with God's blessings. Our election campaign has already begun and the office launched today will take care of election management."
Taking a jibe at former chief minister and current Congress state chief, Kamal Nath's participation at a backward classes convention, the BJP state president said, "Our OBC brothers and sisters know how the Congress lied to them. They were cheated by the Congress."
