The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Pritam Lodhi from Madhya Pradesh's Pichore stirred controversy with a bizarre analogy comparing road quality under different governments. Speaking outside the Assembly, Lodhi said, “During Digvijaya Singh’s tenure, roads were like Om Puri. Now, under our government, they’re like Sridevi.
