The farmer wing of the Madhya Pradesh Congress has called for the removal of Rewa MP Shivraj Singh Chauhan and filing of an FIR after his remarks on farmers, demanding answers from the MP and Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Rewa MP Shivraj Singh Chauhan faced sharp criticism after making remarks about farmers that were deemed disrespectful by the farmer wing of the state Congress. The wing, led by its state president, issued a formal notice demanding Chauhan's expulsion from the party and the registration of a criminal complaint.
In the notice, the farmer wing also called on Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to respond to the controversy, emphasizing that any slight against "annadata" (food providers) would not be tolerated. The demand reflects growing sensitivity among farmer groups toward political statements that they perceive as undermining their contributions.
The Congress leadership has not yet issued a public statement on the matter, and it remains to be seen whether disciplinary action will be taken against the MP. The episode adds to the broader discourse on farmer issues ahead of upcoming electoral cycles in Madhya Pradesh.
