A seasoned leader, Shivraj Singh, who has served as the Chief Minister three times, now holds a significant position as a cabinet minister in the central government. Although loyalists assure that he refrains from meddling in state affairs, the public sentiment tells a different story. He is affectionately known as ‘Mama’, a title reflecting his nurturing persona and connection with the people of Madhya Pradesh source says. A recent incident highlighted his compassion for the community when he boldly approached affected residents amidst the controversy surrounding the demolition of their homes to facilitate the ambitious Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Sanctuary project in Sehore and Dewas. His visit came despite strong objections from the current Chief Minister, Mohan Yadav, showcasing his unwavering commitment to those in need. In response to the agitation of the tribal community, Yadav instructed officials to halt the project, underscoring the ongoing influence and presence of Shivraj in the hearts and minds of the people source says.
