New Delhi: Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan named his new house in Bhopal as ‘Mama Ka Ghar.’ He put up a signboard outside his residence on Wednesday.
After the BJP’s landslide victory in the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls held in November 2023, the party chose Mohan Yadav as the chief minister, replacing Chouhan who served as the state’s CM for four times.
Chouhan said that his relationship with his “brothers and sisters” would never break and therefore, he named his residence ‘Mama Ka Ghar.’

On Tuesday, senior BJP leader Chouhan said sometimes one ends up in “vanvas” while waiting for “rajtilak” (coronation).
Chouhan, while addressing a gathering in Shahganj town under his Budhni assembly seat on Tuesday evening, got emotional and said he will continue to be among the people, especially his sisters.
“I will not go anywhere. I will live here and die here,” Chouhan said when a couple of women sitting in the audience shouted “bhaiyya (brother), don’t go anywhere leaving us alone.”
The former chief minister said all the works started by the previous BJP government, including the Ladli Behna Yojana (for women’s welfare), housing scheme for beneficiaries of the Ladli Behna scheme, a scheme of one job in each family and promises made to farmers, will be fulfilled by the present government.
“The new government will take forward all these works. There must be some big objective somewhere, sometimes by the time ‘rajtilak’ takes place, one even ends up in ‘vanvas’ (exile). But all this happens to fulfil some or the other objective,” Chouhan told the gathering.
Chouhan won the election from Budhni assembly seat by a margin of more than 1.04 lakh votes over his Congress rival Vikram Mastal.
