Shivraj Chouhan leads delegation to Mohan Yadav over Kosmi demolition row
The meeting followed buzz about friction within the ruling party after the state forest department and district administration carried out a demolition drive in Kosmi.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan met Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav with a delegation of tribal families on October 15 to address the controversy surrounding the demolition of their houses and crops. The meeting took place amid a rift within the State BJP unit following Chouhan's criticism of the demolition of 12 tribal families' houses in Kosmi village under the Budhni assembly constituency, his stronghold.
Union Agriculture Minister Chouhan had earlier assured the delegation that an investigation would be carried out into the matter "with utmost seriousness." The delegation comprised Budhni MLA Ramakant Bhargava, local functionaries, and members of the affected families. The affected families had been protesting in Kosmi village since the demolition and planned to march to Bhopal to voice their concerns.
