Two days after the results of the assembly elections, the suspense over BJP's choice of chief minister for Madhya Pradesh remains.
In a statement, the incumbent chief minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, said he is not a contender for the post.
"I am just a party worker. I have always tried to do the work assigned to me by the party with full accountability, honesty to the best of my abilities. Neither was I a contender for the chief minister post earlier nor I am now," said Chouhan.
Chouhan also heaped praises on PM Narendra Modi.
"Modi ji is our leader and we always feel pride and delight in working with him," said Chouhan.
