BJP ''failed'' to develop MP

Chhindwara, MP, Nov 15 (UNI) Union Commerce and Industry Minister and Congress leader Kamalnath today alleged that Madhya Pradesh's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party failed to industrially develop the state.

''To this day, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has not discussed the state's industrial development with me. Mr Chouhan should reveal which industrialist came to this state by believing in him. The state regime could not take any solid action vis-a-vis electricity,'' he said in a chat with the press here.

Responding to a query, Mr Singh alleged that Congress General Secretary Margaret Alva (who has since left the party) levelled the accusation that Congress assembly poll tickets were being sold as she was annoyed over her son not getting a ticket.
