Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's claim that roads in Madhya Pradesh were better than those in Washington DC has landed him in the eye of a joke storm. "MP roads better than the US? Some even trolled Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Twitter by posting pictures of roads in the US and calling them that of Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh Cooperative Minister Vishwas Sarang tried to defend the chief minister, saying that Chouhan was trying to make a comparison between a developed and developing state. Sarang also urged Scindia to not play politics in this matter, saying Shivraj Singh Chouhanwas not representing the BJP but Madhya Pradesh in the US.
