Chouhan had been fasting since Saturday for “restoration of peace” after a farmer agitation in Mandsaur turned violent following the death of five protesters in police firing. “We will make the state land use advisory service so that farmers get correct and timely information about climate change. Chief Minister Chouhan had been criticised for his decision to fast instead of “helping the farmers”. He should answer why a case of murder has not been filed in the death of five farmers in MP,” he said.
