On Priyanka Vadra’s “Tere Naam” jab at PM Modi, Shivraj Chouhan asked, “Are elections held for action?”

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, attacked Congress national secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday for using the Salman Khan-starring 2003 movie “Tere Naam” to disparage Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Datia election rally.

Chouhan stated that he was surprised by Priyanka Gandhi’s descent into such depravity by discussing actors and citing movies. “Priyanka Gandhi’s comments on actors and movie quotes, followed by her suggestion that a movie should be created about them, surprised me as much as they did. Modi PM. Do acting contests involve elections? Is that for movies? Is it being done under Salman Khan’s name? It is carried out for development and public issues. It demonstrates Congress’s lack of sincerity,” Chouhan remarked.

On Wednesday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra revived the ‘CryPM’ assault on the Prime Minister while speaking at a rally in Datia. The “prime minister of the nation stays upset in his own pain forever,” she remarked. Vadra likened Prime Minister Modi to Salman Khan’s role in the movie “Tere Naam.” “He went to Karnataka with a long list of abuses he faced,” she remarked.He seems to be sobbing all the time. Have you seen Salman Khan’s film ‘Tere Naam’? Salman Khan weeps nonstop throughout that film. I propose naming the film about PM Modi “Mere Naam (my name).”

Madhya Pradesh’s 230-member legislature will be chosen during a single-phase election that takes place on Friday. On December 3, there will be a vote count.
