NDTV
Shivraj Chouhan, 64, is contesting the most challenging election of his political career this time.
The political discourse in Madhya Pradesh has taken a Bollywood turn. A few days ago, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took a jibe at Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh after Congress said they are like Jai-Veeru. Shivraj Chouhan alleged Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh were fighting over plundered booty. Now, he says that in Congress, there is no Jai-Veeru but Shyam-Chhenu from the movie 'Mere Apne', who fight for the control of a locality.
Shivraj Chouhan, 64, is contesting the most challenging election of his political career this time. He is holding an average of ten meetings a day. At every public address, he accuses former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath of committing 11 sins and blames Congress of putting a stop to the schemes of his tenure. He accuses Congress' top leadership of dynastic politics. Sonia Gandhi is busy establishing her son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi and, Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh are following the same tradition, he says.
Referring to his Ladli Behna Yojana, meant to provide financial support women in the state, Shivraj Chouhan says the scheme is changing lives and promises that the current amount of Rs 1,250 will be increased to Rs 3,000 a month in a phased manner.
