<h3><strong>MP Congress Slams Mohan Yadav, Says CM ‘Not Even Able To Manage His Own City'</strong></h3>
<p>The incident has sparked sharp criticism from the Madhya Pradesh Congress, targeting Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, who represents Ujjain, his home district. The party, in a post on X, remarked, “A brutal incident of gang rape of a minor is committed in the Chief Minister’s hometown. The accused left the victim outside the medical college and ran away. In BJP’s Jungle Raj, women’s safety is being torn to shreds every day! The Chief Minister is not even able to manage his own city, let alone the state.”</p>
