* Union Minister RamdasAthawale has made a big claim regarding the political career of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan ahead of the crucial LokSabha elections this year.
New Delhi, Jan 29 Union Minister RamdasAthawale on Sunday claimed that BJP veteran and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will contest in the forthcoming LokSabha elections. Speaking to reporters, RamdasAthawale, who is the president of the Republican Party of India (A), also claimed that Prime Minister NarendraModi will also make ShivrahChouhan a Union cabinet minister. "Shivraj Singh ChouhankaLokSab - hameianahaipakka, isliyeunkedushmanokolagena baht badadhakka. (Shivraj Singh Chouhan's entry into LokSabha is certain; hence his enemies will get a big shock)," RamdasAthawale told reporters in Bhopal in his trademark poetic style. Speculations have been rife regarding the future of Shivraj- Chouhan, who missed out on a fifth term as the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister. The BJP picked Mohan Yadav to be the new Chief Minister after registering a landslide victory in the assembly polls last month. R a m d a s A t h awa l e , whose party is part of the BJP-led NDA, further said that if Shivraj- Chouhan goes to Delhi and contests the LokSabha election, then PM Modi will "respect him" and make him a cabinet minister. He, however, did not answer properly when asked if the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister's LokSabha ticket could be considered confirmed.RamdasAthawale also spoke about PM Modi respecting all castes and giving each a chance to stand out. He supported his statement by mentioning Chhattisgarh's tribal Chief Minister Vishnu Singh Deo, Madhya Pradesh's OBC Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, and Rajasthan's Brahmin Chief MInisterBhajanLal Sharma.
