While speaking to ANI, Baghel said, "When Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced 20 lakh crore economic package, we all thought that it will be announced in a very clear manner.
But for last three days, Nirmala ji and Anurag ji's serial has been going on.

I feel it would be better to say anything when this serial is over." He further said, "Picture abhi baki hai mere dost."
