Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a senior advocate, Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson of the Congress on Monday took a jibe at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by stating that it must be “embarrassing” for the entire battery of top BJP leaders to work under “less popular” Chief Minister. 

Taking to Twitter, Singhvi said, “Must be embarrassing for an entire battery of top BJP leaders in Madhya Pradesh to work under a much junior and less popular CM. Many first line leaders have been chucked out by top duo of BJP with this single step.”
