Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chauhan on Sunday remarked that photos disappear from hoardings like “horns from a donkey’s head” when one is no longer holding the CM post.
His comments come after he was replaced with Dr Mohan Yadav for a fifth term as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh following the BJP’s victory in recent Assembly polls.
The four-term former chief minister, while addressing a function of Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual movement, in the Neelbad area of Bhopal on Sunday, said, “Life is filled with joy when we set a goal to do work for others. I still don’t have time. I am constantly busy. It is good that we are getting a chance to work away from politics.”
“There are leaders like Modi ji (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) who live for the country. But there are many who see colours. If you are a Chief Minister, (such people say) ‘bhaisahab your feet and hands are like a lotus’. But when one is no longer (on the chief minister’s post), (his) photos disappear from hoardings like the horns from a donkey’s head,” he added.
Shivraj Singh Chauhan gracefully stepped down from the CM post last month and led the way for his party colleague to take over the top post.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday called on Chouhan at the latter’s residence in the state capital and discussed welfare schemes.
After the meeting, Yadav said during his long stint as chief minister, Chouhan implemented several welfare schemes in the state, especially for girls and women. “I came to discuss these schemes. We will take all these schemes forward,” the MP CM said.
