Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today sought the Opposition Congress clarification on what it meant by saying that it would win the November 27 Assembly polls in the state under "any circumstances".
"The Congress statement in this regard leads to suspicion that the party was planning to create disturbances in a big way or do something to affect the poll process on the day of voting," Chouhan told reporters at the Madhya Pradesh BJP headquarters.
He said the Congress may be talking in this manner as the party knew it had lost popular support and was not behaving like a responsible political party.
Chouhan said he was confident that the people of Madhya Pradesh would once again vote the BJP to power on the basis of development carried out in the last five years.
To a question, he said that voters of Madhya Pradesh were mainly polarised between BJP and Congress and hence other political parties would not have much effect on the elections.
He parried questions on Bharatiya Janashakti leader Uma Bharti and Govindacharya by saying that "the BJP did not talk about other people but worked only on the basis of its ideology".
Chouhan said that even Muslims were appreciating the good work done by the BJP and hence they may vote for the party in the elections.
Asked why the BJP had not given even a single ticket to any Muslim for the assembly elections, he said that this alone could not be the factor in deciding on Muslim support for his party.
