While addressing a gathering at Ladkui in Sehore’s Budhni, Shivraj Singh Chouhan opened his heart and said that he had always kept politics next to worshipping God.

“I changed the definition of politics in Madhya Pradesh. Our poor brothers and sisters, farmer brothers and sisters, you have seen the rule of Congress for years. Tell me, was there ever such concern for the public? What used to happen…? I don’t run the government. I run a family. You all are my family,” said Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday.

“If my flesh and bones are useful to you (the public) and children, then my life will be successful,” he said during his address.

Notably, in his multiple addresses, Shivraj Singh Chouhan was spotted claiming of treating his government as ‘family’. On a number of occasions in his recent speeches, Chouhan also turned emotional.

Till now, the BJP hasn’t announced current MP CM, Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s name in any of the candidate list in the state assembly elections. The delay has raised eyebrows among political experts and made them questioned about Shivraj Singh’s position in the elections. 

Moreover, there were reports suggesting BJP deneing ticket to Shivraj Singh Chauhan. In response to reports claiming his seclusion in the party, Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that all senior leaders in the BJP will contest the Assembly election. “This has ensured BJP’s big victory. All our senior leaders will contest…,” he said. 

In one of its reports, NDTV rejected claims of Shivraj being denied ticket. However, the reports also said, “any big leader can become chief minister post-election.”

Till now, the party has announced some big names for MP state assembly elections like Kailash Vijayvargiya, and others. The state assembly poll schedule has not yet been announced.
