Congress leader demands Shivraj Singh Chauhan's resignation over tribal damage in Kosmi, MP

A dispute over damage to tribal families' houses and agricultural fields in the town of Kosmi, Madhya Pradesh, has sparked a fresh political confrontation. Local reports indicate that several tribal households suffered losses to their dwellings and crops, prompting community grievances.

Responding to the incident, Congress district president Rajiv Gujarati publicly accused Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan of shirking responsibility. Gujarati demanded that the chief minister step down, arguing that the administration had failed to protect vulnerable communities.

The demand has heightened tensions between the ruling party and the opposition in the region. While the Congress has intensified its criticism, the chief minister’s office has not yet issued an official comment on the resignation call.

Analysts note that the episode underscores the political sensitivity surrounding tribal welfare in Madhya Pradesh, and it may influence upcoming electoral calculations in the state.
