Digvijaya's brother meets Chouhan, dubs it as 'courtesy call'

A day after Congress MLA Lakshman Singh protested outside his elder brother and party veteran Digvijaya Singh's house, the legislator met former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan here, setting tongues wagging in the state political circles.

However, both Chouhan and the MLA termed the meeting as a "courtesy call".

The legislator and his supporters on Tuesday protested in front of Digvijaya Singh's residence in Bhopal, demanding that the senior Congress leader set a date for a function to announce the creation of Chachoda district.

He met BJP vice president Chouhan here on Wednesday morning and later dubbed it as a "courtesy call", saying no other meaning should be drawn out of it.

After the meeting, Chouhan also told reporters that, "It was a courtesy meeting. We meet occasionally...We also support the demand that Chachoda be made a district."
