In His 4th Term, Assertive & Stern CM Shivraj Chouhan Stuns Party Leaders After Emphatic Bypoll Win FOLLOW US ON: An otherwise mellowed and sober Shivraj Singh Chouhan has bared his sterner side in his fourth term in power, especially after an emphatic win in the recent Madhya Pradesh assembly bypolls where the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party grabbed 19 seats and Congress party could clinch only nine. The chief minister can be seen exuding greater conviction and assertion on governance issues primarily when it comes to punishing those who breach the norms. To start with, Chouhan was always known to take a secular path contrary to the inclinations of the BJP’s parental body, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), but things are different now.
