A question at a general knowledge quiz by the BJP’s youth wing, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha here raised a storm with the question describing the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru as “greedy”.
The Congress then questioned the contribution of Deendayal Upadhyay and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the freedom struggle.
Most of the questions in the competition, attended by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, were about the policies of the state government.
A booklet “Mere Deendayal” was also distributed on the occasion. While the Congress was attacked in the booklet, one question called Nehru as “greedy for power”.
Congress leader Ajay Singh told: “Even the BJP knows Nehru’s contribution to the freedom struggle… he went to jail many times. The BJP is trying to erase the contribution of freedom fighters.”
