On October 11, while addressing a by-election rally in Rajpur in Ashoknagar district, in presence of former Chief Minister Kamal Nath, Gurjar had called Chouhan a ‘bhukhe-nange’.
“Kamal Nath is another big industrialist, he is not as ‘bhukhe-nange’ as Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Chouhan used to have five acres of land earlier but now he has thousands of acres of land, as he has been drinking farmers’ blood,” Gurjar said.
