CM Mohan Yadav Taking Revenge On Shivraj Chouhan: Jitu Patwari
Earlier on Friday, Jitendra Patwari, President of the Madhya Pradesh Congress, stated that Chief Minister Mohan Yadav was pursuing vengeance on his predecessor Shivraj Singh Chouhan by dismissing personnel appointed by him. Patwari, who recently replaced Kamal Nath as the party's state unit president following the election fiasco, questioned Yadav's 'motive' while calling the move 'internal politics' of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is taking revenge from former MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The collectors and officers appointed by the former CM are getting removed by the current. This is the internal politics of the BJP," Patwari informed media.
