The district Panchayat office in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal today witnessed dramatic scenes as the BJP and the Congress clashed over the Bhopal District Panchayat President election.
There was a ruckus outside the office since morning where several Congress workers and leaders had camped. Some Congress members had switched sides right before the election. As soon as the senior party leadership got the news, former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh, former Union Minister Suresh Pachauri, Congress MLA PC Sharma, and Arif Masood along with hundreds of Congress workers reached the district panchayat office and created a ruckus.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan condemned the incident, targeting Mr Singh. "This indecent behaviour doesn't suit a former Chief Minister. He is grabbing a cop by the collar, screaming, trying to break the gate of the collectorate. This is misbehaviour. Victory and defeat are part of a democratic system, but who gave you the right to grab a policeman by the collar? I am surprised. How is someone who has been a Chief Minister for 10 years doing this? This is an expression of the frustration of the Congress for losing ground," he said.
