Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been sidelined by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) top leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra claimed on Thursday. She also targeted the Union government over the new law for women’s reservation in legislative bodies.
Addressing a public rally at Mohankheda in the Dhar district of M.P.’s Malwa region, Ms. Gandhi took potshots at the BJP, saying that Mr. Modi was now shying away from naming Mr. Chouhan in his campaign speeches.
“I was listening to Modi ji’s speech. Nowadays, he shies away from taking his [Mr. Chouhan’s] name. Shivraj is not going to be your CM anymore. Modi ji talks about Congress over 50 times in a 50-minute address. Congress workers should be happy about it,” she said.
