BJP sidelined Chouhan: Patwari
Not only did Patwari accuse BJP of monarchy, but he also claimed that BJP has completely sidelined Shivraj Singh Chouhan after winning the state showcasing his face only. He said, “BJP showed Shivraj's face in the elections and changed the CM after the results. Look at the process of selection of Chief Ministers of the three states (MP, Rajasthan & Chhattisgarh).”
He questioned, “Don't the MLAs have the right to choose the Chief Minister of their choice? Shivraj told his promises and ideas to the people of the state and at the end he was sidelined.”
