Indore: In an apparent bid to ruffle
feathers of the ruling BJP in Madhya Pradesh, the Leader of
Opposition, Ajay Singh, on Monday said Chief Minister Shivraj
Singh Chouhan would be dislodged before the 2013 Assembly
polls owing to the intense factionalism in his party.
"CM to badlega chunav se pahle...kaise, yeh to Prabhat
Jha jante hain...Kailash Vijaywargia to unke (shivraj) subh
chintank hain" (CM will be replaced before election...Prabhat
Jha (state BJP president) knows how...Kailash Vijayvergiya is
his (Chouhan's) well wisher," Ajay told a press conference
post the culmination of 'Jail Bharo' stir held by his party
across the state.
Replying to a query on whether he was apprehending the
mid-term poll in Madhya Pradesh, he said, "No mid-term poll.
Shivraj will go before 2013 polls. Sholey ke Thakur
Vijaywargia is his well-wisher and Prabhat Jha asked me to
move to the court with cases that I would not reveal right
now".
He was reffering to the public outburst of the
Industries Minister Kailash Vijaywargia who had once dubbed
himself as "Sholey's Thakur" in presence of the chief
minister.
Ajay chose not to comment on a statement made by
Prabhat Jha against him during the no-confidence motion in the
Assembly, saying Jha is from Bihar who is "pickicking" in the
state.
"I would advise Shivraj Singhji to keep distance from
advisors like Prabhat Jha," he added.
