Minister lands in trouble over “I don’t eat sweets” claim; Congress releases video, stating “Kailash’s lie exposed.”

Political activity is intensifying in Madhya Pradesh ahead of the Raksha Bandhan festival following Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s remarks on sugar prices. The Congress hit back at Vijayvargiya’s claim—”I don’t eat sweets”—by releasing a video showing the minister tasting sweets. Accompanying the video, the Congress wrote, “Kailash’s lie exposed.” Meanwhile, in Bhopal, Congress MLA Arif Masood had women tie *rakhis* on him, gifted them packets of sugar, and targeted the government over the issue of inflation.
