Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan along with other BJP leaders in Budhni.
Budhni: Union Minister and senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chauhan said on Friday that like Haryana, Congress will have to face defeat in the assembly elections to be held in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. Taking aim at the Congress, he said that during its rule there was a decline in infrastructure development in the country. In the elections for the 90-seat Haryana Assembly, BJP won 48 seats, while Congress could win only 37 seats. Chouhan said these things while addressing a rally during the filing of nomination by BJP candidate Ramakant Bhargava from Madhya Pradesh’s Budhni Assembly seat.
‘Congress party is not going to win anywhere now’
addressing the rally Chauhan Said, ‘Congress was defeated in Haryana and will have to face defeat in Maharashtra and Jharkhand also. Congress party is not going to win anywhere now. After winning from Vidisha in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Chauhan resigned from Budhni seat, necessitating the by-election. Congress has given ticket to former minister Rajkumar Patel from Budhni seat. Patel had won this seat in 1993, but had to face defeat in the 2006 elections against Chauhan.
Shivraj has been continuously elected from Budhni since 2006.
Let us tell you that from 2006 to 2023, Chauhan has been continuously elected from Budhni. Earlier, Chauhan had won from this seat for the first time in 1990. The Union Agriculture Minister said that whenever he contested elections from Budhni, it was the party workers who contested the elections for him and decided his victory. Shivraj said, ‘Just as the party workers fought the elections for me, they will fight for Ramakant Bhargava and ensure his victory by securing more votes than I got.’
‘There were no roads in the area during Congress rule’
Chauhan said that he left no stone unturned for the development of Budhni. He said, ‘There were no roads in the area during the Congress rule. People had to ride horses to go anywhere. If someone had used those roads, his condition would have worsened. But after BJP came to power in 2003 and I became the Chief Minister, I opened a school, then an excellent school, a CM Rise School, an ITI college and also established a medical college in the constituency.’ (Language)
