BHOPAL: <\/b>Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday said that he had changed the definition of politics in Madhya Pradesh by providing a government that cared for the people, and said that he would be missed when he wasn\u2019t around.<\/p>\n

The chief minister referred to the constituents as his family and the women, his sisters. \u201cFor me, politics means serving the public and serving the public is for me, like worshipping God. I changed the definition of politics in Madhya Pradesh. Our poor brothers and sisters, farmer brothers and sisters, you have seen the rule of Congress for years. Tell me, was there ever such concern for the public? What used to happen…? I don\u2019t run the government. I run a family. You all are my family,\u201d Chouhan said at a meeting in Sehore district\u2019s Ladkui area, which falls under the Budhni assembly seat that has voted for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in all assembly elections since 1985.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not find such a brother. You will miss me when I am gone,\u201d added Chouhan, who has represented the seat since 2006.<\/p>\n

The chief minister\u2019s emotional speech was interpreted by the Congress to allude to the BJP\u2019s reluctance to name him as the party\u2019s presumptive chief minister. For now, the BJP, which plans to focus on the government\u2019s women-centric policies, has stressed that the election will be fought under the \u201ccollective leadership\u201d of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Chauhan.<\/p>\n

Congress leaders interpreted Chouhan\u2019s remarks to be an acknowledgement that his party had sidelined him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth has come out. Shivraj ji, now that you yourself have accepted that we will miss you a lot after you are gone\u2026 You will definitely be remembered for scams, corruption, false – never-fulfilling declarations, atrocities and other irregularities,\u201d MP Congress Committee state media in-charge KK Mishra said.<\/p>\n

Former chief minister Kamal Nath said the \u201cpeople of the state will remember his (Shivraj Singh Chouhan) lies and failed promises.\u201d<\/p>\n

MP BJP spokesperson Hitesh Vajpayee said the Congress leaders were trying to give the chief minister\u2019s emotional outreach to people a spin. \u201cShivraj ji was talking with his family members, and he got emotional that we won\u2019t get a brother like him. This is true that nobody can be like Shivraj. But Congress leaders are getting happy after listening to this emotional speech and trying to give it a wrong spin. They don\u2019t know that their dreams will not come true in this election,\u201d said Hitesh Vajpayee, spokesperson, BJP. <\/p>\n

Girija Shankar, a Bhopal-based political expert, said it was not uncommon for political parties and leaders to use their emotional appeal. \u201cChief minister Chouhan just played this emotional card because he knows people respect him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
