Bhopal July 22 2024 : The Trinamool Congress (TMC) strongly criticized Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government following a disturbing incident in Rewa district, where two women were nearly buried alive under gravel dumped from a truck.

Referring to the incident in Rewa, the TMC demanded that Chief Minister @DrMohanYadav51 take responsibility and “hang his head in shame.”

According to police reports, the shocking incident occurred in Hinota Jorot village under Mangawa police station on Saturday.
