'Mama's Bulldozer Is Ready': Madhya Pradesh CM Chouhan Warns Cong Against 'Threatening' People For Votes
Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Chouhan also accused the Congress of stalling all the development projects during its 15-month rule in 2018.
New Delhi: Just a few days ahead of the high-octane Madhya Pradesh elections, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan warned the Congress against “threatening” the people for votes. Addressing a public gathering in Bijuri in Annupur district, CM Chouhan, as quoted by news agency ANI, said, “I got to know that Congress candidates are threatening the people for votes. I am making it very clear that if you raise your finger at the people, Mama’s bulldozer is ready. We will not tolerate hooliganism. We will destroy you.”
The chief minister also accused the grand old party of stalling all the development projects during its 15-month rule in 2018.
“The Congress stopped all my schemes like Sambal Yojana, they snatched cycles from children and also stopped the tirth yatra though I started again and now it will be by flight,” ANI quoted CM Chouhan as saying.
It is to be noted that after three consecutive election victories in 2003, 2008 and 2013, the BJP lost to the grand old party in 2018. However, in an intriguing turn of fate for the Kamal Nath government, then Congress old-timer and former central minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with his band of loyalists raised the flag of rebellion, leading to the eventual collapse of the Congress dispensation.

Meanwhile, last week, CM Chouhan promised to provide employment opportunity to one member of each family if the saffron party is voted back to power.
“We have decided to provide employment to a member of every family for their prosperity. We will not let any family be deprived of employment opportunity,” he said while addressing a poll rally in Prithvipur assembly seat.
The 230-member Madhya Pradesh assembly will go to polls on November 17 and the result will be announced on December 3.
