Ahead of the upcoming by-elections that will decide the fate of 27 Vidhan Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh, a video featuring current Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been doing the rounds on social media. On September 15, Krishna Mohan Sharma, former secretary of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) Rajasthan, tweeted the video with the caption, “Shivraj Singh Chouhan is being welcomed with sandals and shoes, he should understand how the public feels now.” In the video, the CM is seen addressing a gathering. In the middle of his speech, people in the audience begin shouting slogans and a slipper is thrown towards the stage. Security personnel standing around the BJP leader surround him to shield him from the attack. The video received 61,000 views at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
