Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is the latest in a long list of politicians to face Twitter trouble. Chouhan tweeted on Monday: "It appears miscreants had briefly hacked my account and had send (sic) out mischievous tweets, we have taken back the control and are back on track." The "mischievous" tweet Chouhan mentions was sent out from his Twitter handle @ChouhanShivraj on the day of the Cabinet reshuffle on Sunday, November 9. Chouhan later deleted the offending tweet, attributing it to the handiwork of hackers, was a congratulatory message to new Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu. It said: "@sureshpprabhu I like it you said hon'ble PM's dream not dream of Indians! He will definitely be pleased by your bhakti. U will go places."
