We will include all the slogans of the BJP-led state government and how they failed in it,” said party spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta. BJP’s slogans like ‘self-reliant MP’ of 2008, ‘prosperous and developed MP’ of 2013 and ‘development of state like Gujarat model’ in 2018, which proved only slogans, will be discussed in the series, Gupta added. Reacting to this, the BJP asked the Congress to include the reaction of people regarding the 15 months tenure of the then Congress-led state government. “In the 15-month tenure of Congress-led state government, residents of MP faced ‘fake promises’, ‘corruption’ and ‘red tapism’ only. Even the miner of the then Congress-led state government made allegations of corruption in their government. They should include the reaction of the people. Otherwise, people will not show any interest in any series or video,” said Ashish Agrawal, state BJP media in-charge.
