Pravasi Bharatiya Divas event: Congress hits out at BJP over ‘spraying green colour on grass’ before PM’s visit

अकल्पनीय, अविश्वसनीय तस्वीरें..

प्रधानमंत्री के इंदौर दौरे के पहले इंदौर को हरा-भरा बनाने के लिए BJP सरकार ने घास को ही हरे रंग से रंग दिया। वाह शिवराज वाह!! pic.twitter.com/tMJ2jKc01V

Sharing a video of the aforementioned incident on his official Twitter handle, Indian Youth Congress president B V Srinivas said: “Unimaginable, unbelievable pictures… Before the Prime Minister’s visit to Indore, the BJP government painted the grass green to make Indore green. Waw Shivraj wah!!”

Responding to the allegation, Madhya Pradesh BJP spokesperson Narendra Saluja tweeted Monday, “Indore, which has got a big opportunity to host the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention, has been decorated in a very short span of time and this is causing pain in the stomach of the Congress.” Saluja added, “whenever any good work takes place in the country, the Congress is not happy with it.”

जब भी कुछ अच्छा होता है , देश-प्रदेश विकास के पथ पर अग्रसर होता है , सबसे पहला पेट दर्द कांग्रेस को ही होता है…

अब जब प्रदेश के इंदौर में प्रवासी सम्मेलन – ग्लोबल इन्वेस्टर्स समिट हो रही है , G-20 सम्मेलन होने वाला है..
प्रदेश – इंदौर की ब्रांडिंग विश्व भर में हो रही है..

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday arrived in Indore to take part in the 17th edition of the convention. Over 3,500 diaspora members from 70 countries are expected in Indore for the convention, which is being organised as a physical event after a gap of four years.

On the occasion, the Prime Minister will also inaugurate a temporary museum at the venue to highlight the contribution of the diaspora freedom fighters to India’s Independence.
