Sporadic clashes were reported across the state and an aide of a Congress worker was killed after two groups fought in the Rajnagar constituency of Chhatarpur.
On Thursday, Modi addressed rallies in Satna, Chhatarpur and Neemuch districts, where he accused the Congress of denying Ram’s existence, attacked its track record on development and stressed on the PM Awas Yojana’s importance for the poor.
Yadav tried to pacify the crowd and later spoke to reporters even as party workers continued sloganeering. “We have come here, and we will talk to them. They are all party workers. We will speak to everyone,” he said.
A senior Congress leader said this was done to avoid further rebellion by disgruntled leaders. “Many who did not get tickets joined other parties, we know how much they can damage us,” the leader said.
Congress lamented the use of 'lies' by PM Modi and questioned the basis on which he gave the statement. Congress claimed that Modi violated the model code of conduct and demanded a probe against the PM by the Election Commission.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut alleged that MPs from Maharashtra were being offered Rs 50 crore each to defect from the party. He made the claim at a press conference where other party leaders dismissed reports of a rebellion. Raut also mentioned an "Operation Tiger" to engineer defections. The party currently has nine Lok Sabha MPs and any defection by two-thirds could have significant implications.
