Shivraj Singh Chouhan turned Emotional surrounded by Women supporters
Reportedly former madhya pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who launched several welfare schemes targeted at women during his tenure, was surrounded by his women supporters, who broke down and hugged him as emotions ran high during his visit to his former lok sabha constituency Vidisha. Chouhan, who stepped down as cm earlier this week, was also seen getting emotional and in tears as women encircled him and raised slogans in his praise while he was on his way to a famous Hanuman temple in Vidisha, around 55 km from here, on Thursday.Meanwhile calling him “Bhaiyya” (brother) and “Mama” (maternal uncle), the women and girls hugged him. They said they want him back (as the CM). The former cm could not hold back his tears and assured them that he was not leaving Madhya Pradesh. In the november 17 assembly elections, the bharatiya janata party (BJP) registered an emphatic win by bagging 163 out of the total 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh. The saffron party then picked Mohan Yadav, a three-time mla from temple town ujjain as the new chief minister of the state. During his nearly 18-year-long tenure as cm, barring 15 months of congress rule (December 2018-March 2020), Chouhan transformed himself from being a shy, simple and vulnerable politician to an astute leader with a wide mass appeal.Moreover Chouhan pioneered welfare schemes in madhya pradesh, which was once tagged among the ‘BIMARU’ (laggard) states. His populist programmes like ‘Ladli Laxmi Yojna’, ‘Mukhya Mantri Kanyadan Yojna’, ‘Mukhya Mantri Teerth Darshan Yojana’, bicycle scheme for school children, among others, were emulated by some other states.
