The Bharatiya Janata Party high command used every opportunity to insult incumbent Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Shiv Sena (UBT) faction MP Sanjay Raut alleged on Sunday. He claimed that the prime objective of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah was not to defeat the Congress but to politically finish Mr. Chouhan on his home turf.
In his column ‘Rokhthok’ in the party’s mouthpiece Saamana, Mr. Raut launched a broadside against senior Congressman and Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath, remarking that there was “a great danger” in the 2024 general election [for the Congress] if there were “people around the Gandhi family who played politics that favoured” the PM Modi, Amit Shah and the BJP.
