Kartikeya Singh Chauhan
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kartikeya Singh Chouhan’s remarks have created a political uproar in Madhya Pradesh. Addressing workers in Budni, Kartikeya said if the Congress candidate wins the assembly by-election, not a single brick will be laid here. If we lose the election, then how will we treat the Chief Minister and the Union Agriculture Minister? After Kartikeya made this statement, there was political turmoil in Madhya Pradesh.
After Kartikeya Singh Chouhan’s statement, veteran Congress leader and former chief minister Digvijay Singh of Madhya Pradesh retaliated. Digvijay Singh said Karthikeya should not give such speeches from now on, learning from his father Shivraj Singh Chauhan. In a democracy, the government and the opposition work together to build India. I was chief minister for 10 years too, but I never used this language.
Who is Kartiki Singh Chauhan?
Kartikeya Singh Chauhan is the eldest son of Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan. Talking about Karthikeya’s academic qualifications, apart from Bhopal, he completed his LLM from the University of Pennsylvania, Symbiosis, Pune, USA, i.e. he is also a lawyer. Besides that, he also does business. He is also said to have a dairy shop in Vidisha. Politically speaking, he inherited that.
Before coming to the Centre, the command of the Madhya Pradesh government was in the hands of Shivraj Singh Chauhan. After Shivraj Singh Chauhan became a central minister, Kartikeya Chauhan became quite active in Madhya Pradesh politics, whether it was meeting party workers or convening Meeting. After becoming a Union minister, Kartikeya is now busy filling the void left by her father. However, Kartikeya is yet to enter electoral politics.
Budney holds by-election
Shivraj Singh Chauhan first contested the Assembly elections in 1990 from Budhni seat. Thereafter, he served as Vidisha MP several times. Since 2003, he has been elected as a provincial councilor from the Budney parliamentary seat. This time the party defeated Shivraj Singh Chauhan in the assembly elections. After winning, he had to vacate the Budni seat. Therefore, now a by-election is going on in Budhni seat. Karthikeya preferred the Budhni seat as it had become, in a way, the seat of his family.
In the same Budni itself, political unrest ensued following Kartikeya’s statement while addressing a public meeting. Congress leaders have repeatedly raised concerns over Kartikeya’s statement. Congress leaders told him to learn politics from his father Shivraj Singh Chauhan, while the BJP has so far remained silent on the entire issue.
Kartikeya Singh Chauhan takes revenge on Digvijay Singh’s statement
Karthikeya said that Digvijay Singh ji is a senior leader. It would be a blessing for me if uncle Digvijay, the two-time chief minister and general secretary of the National Congress, followed me and listened to my speeches. On the other hand, when it comes to Congress and its statements, they are all about intimidation. If anyone is afraid, the people of Budney are afraid because you have brought the country to the brink of destruction in these ten years. If anyone is scared, it’s because the roads are broken and potholed and the power supply is difficult. We also want to learn from you, but in the ten years of your rule, we have done nothing to learn from.
