Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's act of connecting with the electorate, over the past few days, isn't being liked by BJP's top leadership.
Despite being removed from the position of CM, Chouhan has been holding rallies and public contact programs across the state, giving sentimental calls to the electorate and evoking emotional responses for policies that were followed during his tenure as chief minister.
Sources stated that such events have never happened in the history of BJP and are being seriously viewed by senior leadership.
BJP prides itself on the discipline of its leaders and party cadres, who would do anything if asked by the saffron unit’s leadership. Leave any ticket, nomination or post for the greater good of the saffron ranks. However, this display by Chouhan is being viewed as a negative development as far as party discipline is concerned, sources said.
“When has this happened before in BJP and when it happened, what was its result? At present, this is not normal as he has recently been asked to move out of the office of chief minister. As a senior leader and disciplined worker of the BJP, such public display is not expected from him," sources said.
