The list also includes words like 'Pappu', which is a jibe BJP leaders often use to target Congress leader and Wayanad MP, Rahul Gandhi.
It also includes words like 'Mr Batadhar' or spoilsport, which is a jibe commonly used to target another Congress leader and former state chief minister Digvijaya Singh.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who unveiled the booklet on Sunday, said that often members of the assembly cross the limits and use specific unparliamentary words.Â

The Opposition, however, has questioned the need for bringing out such a booklet.
