Mohan Yadav says Rahul Gandhi should uphold LoP dignity
In India, there is a big leader named Rahul Gandhi who works in the national parliament.
His job is called Leader of Opposition, which means he asks questions and checks on the ruling party.
Mohan Yadav, the leader of a state called Madhya Pradesh, said Rahul Gandhi is not behaving respectfully in that job.
He said Gandhi tells lies to create stories that help himself.
Two big groups, the BJP and the Congress party, are having a fight.
They are arguing about students who are upset over exams being handled a certain way.
The opposition says student problems are not being addressed properly.
The state leader says Gandhi is turning the students' issues into politics instead.
Yadav also visited the governor of Madhya Pradesh.
They talked about new rules, the Independence Day holiday, and the state getting less rain than usual.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly trying to create a narrative by telling lies.
Yadav said such politics undermined the dignity of the office of Leader of Opposition.
The remarks came amid a BJP-Congress political row over student grievances concerning examinations and recruitment.
Yadav made the comments to reporters after meeting Governor Mangubhai Patel at Lok Bhavan in Bhopal.
Yadav and the governor discussed the Uniform Civil Code Bill, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, and the state's rainfall deficit of about 15 per cent due to El Niño.
