Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who launched several welfare schemes targeted at women during his tenure, was surrounded by women supporters, who broke down and hugged him as emotions ran high during his visit to his former Lok Sabha constituency Vidisha.
Mr. Chouhan, who stepped down as CM earlier this week, was also seen getting emotional and in tears as women encircled him and raised slogans in his praise while he was on his way to a famous Hanuman temple in Vidisha, around 55 km from Bhopal, on December 14.
Calling him "Bhaiyya" [brother] and "Mama" [maternal uncle], the women and girls hugged him. They said they want him back (as the CM). The former CM could not hold back his tears and assured them that he was not leaving Madhya Pradesh.
