Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has asked people during an event in the State whether he should become the Chief Minister again or not and whether the Bharatiya Janata Party (the BJP) be voted to power.
He asked the questions while addressing a gathering at Dindori, more than 450 km from Bhopal, on October 6.
Targeting Mr. Chouhan over it, the Opposition Congress on October 7 claimed that he has started asking such questions to people to put pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the latter has stopped mentioning the Chief Minister's name in his speeches and "dropped him from the race for the CM post".
