"Injustice": Shivraj Chouhan At Madhya Pradesh Tribal Home Demolition Protest
Twelve tribal homes were demolished in a village in Madhya Pradesh that fell within Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's parliamentary constituency.
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan publicly confronted the Madhya Pradesh Government over the demolition of tribal families' houses in Kosmi village, Sehore district. Chouhan questioned why people who had voted for the BJP in elections had been targeted in the operation by the Forest Department. Twelve families from the Barela tribal community lost their homes, crops, and a well, which the government claimed was to remove alleged encroachments.
Chouhan, who previously represented Budhni, stated it was a conspiracy to malign the party and said he would inform the Chief Minister about the families' distress. Congress Leader Umang Singhar alleged the incident was due to internal friction within the BJP Government.
