Uttarakhand Assembly poll: Congress has become 'party of crabs', leaders fight among themselves, says Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "Congress has become a party of crabs, who are pulling each other`s legs. Congress leaders are fighting among themselves, they cannot develop Uttarakhand. Congress is Kumbhakaran who used to sleep for six months and after waking up eat everything. Congress also digests everything by eating iron, wood, land and stone."

Almora: Taking a jibe at the Congress ahead of the Uttarkhand Assembly polls, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday said the grand old party has become `a party of crabs` where leaders fight among themselves.

Addressing an election rally in Dwarahat, Chouhan said, "Congress has become a party of crabs, who are pulling each other`s legs. Congress leaders are fighting among themselves, they cannot develop Uttarakhand. Congress is Kumbhakaran who used to sleep for six months and after waking up eat everything. Congress also digests everything by eating iron, wood, land and stone."

The BJP leader`s remarks come in the backdrop of reports of infighting in several state units of the Congress, including Punjab, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand, in recent months. Launching a scathing attack at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister said, "Rahul Gandhi is running a false campaign in Devbhoomi and making false promises. Shame on Rahul Gandhi that he is talking of opening a Muslim University on the land of Uttarakhand. Rahul Gandhi speaks on Hindutva. He does not even know what is Hinduism and Hindutva."
