'MAMA KA GHAR'-the display board outside Shivraj Singh Chouhan's house on the VIP Link Road in Bhopal and the hundreds of people waiting outside the gate say a lot about his reputation. He might have been denied a fourth term as chief minister by the BJP central leadership, but he continues to enjoy the trust of the people of Madhya Pradesh. And the BJP is banking on Chouhan, along with a visible pro-hindutva sentiment, to repeat a sweep in the state in the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP could not have ignored the importance of the Chouhan factor, and that is why it gave him a ticket to the Lok Sabha elections. His welfare schemes as chief minister were largely responsible for its successive victories in the state. And Madhya Pradesh is probably the only BJP-dominated state where Modi is not the party's main vote catcher.
