On Monday, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan termed former Congress president Rahul Gandhi as 'ranchhod' (deserter). Chouhan said that Rahul Gandhi became the first captain to desert a sinking ship. Chouhan, who is BJP membership campaign national convener said that for so many days there was no one as Congress chief and even today Sonia Gandhi is just the interim president.

Further attacking the Gandhi's, Chouhan said that the party can never grow till it's ruled by the family legacy. The former CM of Madhya Pradesh also slammed the Congress for not fulfilling the promise of farm loan waiver in 10 days after winning elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

Chouhan also said that no Chief Minister was removed and more so the law and order situation in all Congress-ruled states had deteriorated. Hitting out at the Gandhi family for being silent on Article 370, Chouhan said that the Congress party failed to give its opinion on the development of Article 370.
