MP polls will be Chouhan vs Cong contest: BJP
10 Aug 2013 5:34 AM IST
The Madhya Pradesh assembly elections due around year end is likely to be a direct contest between chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the Congress. This is because the latter has not projected its leader for polls, while the BJP has virtually thrown its weight behind Chouhan.
‘The BJP has decided to contest the coming assembly polls under the leadership of Chouhan by showcasing the government’s achievements from 2003-2013,’ state BJP unit spokesman and MLA Vishwas Sarang said.
‘Definitely it will be a fight between Chouhan and Congress as the party has not yet declared anyone as its leader for the elections,’ Sarang said, adding that there are many claimants in the party for the post of chief minister. The names of Congress unit president Kantilal Bhuria, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and leader of opposition in state assembly, Ajay Singh have cropped up, which means total confusion, Sarang said.
‘In view of the above, there will be a direct fight between Chouhan and Congress in the state,’ he claimed.
During his ongoing Janashirwad Yatra, Chouhan on a number of occasions had alleged that Congress leaders were targeting him on personal issues as they were unable to find any faults with his welfare policies or corner him on any other issues.
