Exuding confidence that BJP would form government for the consecutive fourth term, Chouhan claimed that during poll campaign, BJP got mass support and public appreciation openly, and this has frustrated the Congress.
Congress is resorting to all sorts of drama so that it can give a temporary ‘false relief ’ of ‘victory’ to party workers, said Chouhan, adding that its workers however, understands well the potential and talent of their senior leaders. “Congress workers know that neither this time, nor in the future; the Congress would never ever come back to power in Madhya Pradesh,” said Chouhan.

Same thing will happen in 2018 and 2019. Narendra Modi will again be the PM.” On the counting day, BJP State chief will monitor all the happenings and party has released the contact numbers and state leadership will remain available on the these number, the party workers were informed.
