Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has said that Shivraj Singh Chauhan will contest the Lok Sabha elections. He will also become a minister at the Centre.
On the question of Shivraj Singh Chauhan not being made the Chief Minister, Athawale said, “Shivraj did good work, that is why he was made the Chief Minister thrice. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to give justice to every caste, that is why he brought forward a new CM face. Shivraj Singh Chauhan will come to Delhi; he will come to the cabinet next. PM Narendra Modi will honor him by making him a cabinet minister.”
The former Chief Minister also worked very hard – Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale reached Bhopal on Saturday. He held a press conference in the media centre. He said, 163 seats were won in Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections. Not only did Modi have a big contribution in this, former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also worked very hard.
Congress should have come for the consecration ceremony – Athawale said on the opposition leaders not coming to Ramlala’s consecration ceremony, Congress leaders did not come because they were not going to get any benefit. There was no program, it was run by Ram Mandir Trust. The Trust had called leaders from all over the country. I am also a Buddhist, but I respect the sentiments of people of Hindu religion. Baba Saheb’s Constitution has taught us that our religions are different, but we are all united in the name of India. They (Congress) should also have come.
