In the 2018 assembly elections, people reposed faith in the Congress but both "bade bhai and chhote bhai" (elder brother and younger brother -- apparently referring to Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh) turned the Vallabh Bhawan (state secretariat) into a den of corruption, Scindia alleged...
The "double engine government" changed the face of Mungaoli and made Bahadurgarh, which did not even have proper roads earlier, a tehsil as demanded by Yadav for ensuring its development, the Union minister said..
