CM and actor Randeep Hooda himself drove the Bullet in the ‘Unique race of development from a heritage’ bike rally of the youth of Bhopal, Sehore and Raisen districts.
During the programme, the CM said, till date I have not understood how the Lion can be the king of the jungle among Tiger and Lion. The king of the jungle is the tiger. The basic difference between the two is that the Tiger hunts for its own food.
Tiger monitors his area every day at 4 pm to see if any intruder has come. On the contrary, in Lion’s life he believes in his family. He lives in a family with his females. He does not hunt himself. The rest hunt, he eats.
During this, CM praised Randeep Hooda’s acting in the film Veer Savarkar. He said- Unfortunately it has to be said that many people from Congress still talk ignorantly about him.
