Outgoing Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said today that he would rather "die than ask for something for himself." This powerful statement came after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced Mohan Yadav, a three-term MLA from Ujjain, as his successor.

At a farewell press conference today, Mr Chouhan said he accepts the BJP leadership's decision to replace him with Mr Yadav.

"I am confident that under the leadership of CM Mohan Yadav, the BJP govt will complete the ongoing projects in the state. In terms of progress and development, Madhya Pradesh will achieve new heights. I will keep supporting him," he said.
