Shivraj Singh Chouhan

The proposal to appoint Mohan Yadav as the head of the next state government was tabled by incumbent CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and backed by Narendra Singh Tomar, Kailash Vijayvargiya and Prahlad Patel -- the three BJP heavyweights who were considered to be in the chief ministerial race.

The post, accompanied by Chouhan's picture with his palms brought together, sparked off speculation as "Ram Ram" is used both as a greeting as well as a parting message.

For the Ladli Behna scheme, which was announced in January this year and implemented in the first half of the ongoing fiscal, the BJP government had earmarked a total of Rs 8,000 crore in the FY24 budget

There are 5.6 crore voters in Madhya Pradesh. Of this 2.7 crore are women and, in more than 12 percent, or 29, of the 230 Assembly constituencies, women outnumber men voters

Madhya Pradesh Elections 2023: Though it looked initially that Shivraj Singh Chouhan was being sidelined, the chief minister has made a sharp comeback to the campaign trail. This time Lady Luck has come visiting him in the form of the Congress decision to focus on a caste census to woo OBCs

Chouhan's comments come against the backdrop of a spat between Congress leader Kamal Nath and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over the failed electoral tie-up in Madhya Pradesh.

BJP is placing its bets on PM Modi’s popularity and the huge resources the party commands. A surprise this time is the sidelining of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, which he is stiffly resisting. Congress is hoping that anti-incumbency and its OBC outreach will overcome Chouhan’s expensive wooing of women voters with generous cash handouts

Chouhan said he reviewed the situation caused by heavy rains in Khargone, Barwani, Dhar, Khandwa, Burhanpur, Alirajpur and Indore and spoke to officials of these districts.

CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been relegated to doling out welfare schemes as the BJP central leadership takes the reins of the election campaign. But Chouhan’s perceived vulnerability and subordination to the high command could be sowing confusion for the party despite its resource and organisational advantages over Congress

The Sidhi incident has greatly angered MP’s tribal communities. In 2018, BJP had done poorly in ST reserved constituencies forcing the party to launch a string of tribal outreach activities since 2021. Interestingly, BJP swept the same areas in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls suggesting that tribal anger is reserved for the state BJP government

The man who was caught on camera smoking and urinating on the tribal man has since been arrested and charged under NSA.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on May 21 flagged off a flight from Bhopal that carried 32 pilgrims to Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj.

Chouhan, who has been targeting the Congress by asking about various schemes, a few days back said he has so far asked 10 questions from Nath on the basis of the opposition party's 2018 poll manifesto, which the CM termed as “a bundle of lies".

The facility, spread over 1 acre, will provide hot and nutritious meals to students in government-run primary and middle schools in the urban areas of the Bhopal district, Chouhan said.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday evening reviewed preparations for the meeting, which will be attended by 94 representatives from 22 countries, besides intellectuals and officials from India
