Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Questions Viral ‘In Mardon Ka Kya Bharosa’ Slogan; Calls For Introspection On Women’s Safety | VIDEO

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan expressed concern on Sunday over the trending social media slogan "Ek kachori, do samosa, in mardon ka kya bharosa," questioning why girls felt they could no longer trust men. Speaking at the 'Navgati' Education Scholarship program in Bhopal, Chouhan emphasized women's safety, respect, education, and employment, announcing support for drivers' children.

He questioned why such a situation arose where his daughters had to write this slogan, urging introspection for men, boys, and parents to ensure women were treated with dignity. Chouhan stressed that women's safety is the collective responsibility of society and vowed not to let the slogan gain meaning or success. The scholarship program awards ₹4,000 annually to students from Classes 8 to 10 scoring above 60%, ₹4,500 to Classes 11 and 12 students scoring above 60%, and ₹5,000 to students scoring above 90%.

Chouhan also promised support for free coaching, skill development, and employment opportunities for students, promising to stand by them even after their education. Additionally, he praised Indian sportspersons' achievements, including India's cricket victory over Pakistan, and attended the RSSDI MPCONE-2026 diabetes conference, advocating for greater awareness, prevention, and research on diabetes.
