BHOPAL: As the row over the controversial film 'Padmavati' continues to rage, both the BJP and the Congress indulged in a slugfest over its screening.As chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced conditional screening of the film post-Censor clearance, Congress, the principal opposition party in the state which is going to take on the BJP in 2018 assembly elections, grabbed the opportunity and termed the chief minister's move as a 'political ploy' ahead of Gujarat elections.Sources in the BJP said that Rajputs are almost one crore of state's over 7 crore population. The community also holds the reins of power in most of the political parties. This may be the possible reason behind BJP's change in stand on the movie, they say. Though the community has more than 12 social groups, they have united over the controversy and extended their support to Karni Sena A group of BJP MLAs had met at the CM's residence and aired their reservations. Party's state head Nandkumar Singh Chauhan, who himself belongs to a Rajput community from West Nimar region, emerged as a one of the film's harshest critics. "Bhansali is insane. He is a sinner who craves for money and created this controversial movie against 'Rashtra Mata' Padmavati , by distorting history and the character of the goddess like figure. We would not allow the screening of the movie in MP," he said.Taking a jibe at the CM, LOP Ajay Singh said, "Padmavati has not been cleared by the censor board. How (then) it could be banned or restricted for screening in the state. CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan also announced an award in the name of Rani Padmavati , but when would he begin the actual work of (ensuring) women safety in the state?"Two local political leaders in Chattarpur - one each from the BJP and the Congress- were booked for alleged objectionable Facebook posts related to the controversial film. Nazim Chaudhary of the Congress and Rafat Khan of the BJP were booked under sections 153 (1) (A) and 505 of the IPC. "Both will be arrested soon," police said.
