This year’s Holi is special for Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as he has achieved the distinction of being the longest-serving BJP chief minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday, he broke a record which had been held by former Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Raman Singh, who was chief minister for three consecutive terms, remained in the post for fifteen years and ten days, 63-year-old Chouhan has now surpassed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Madhya Pradesh CM’s tenure, however, has not been unbroken: he was out of power for fifteen months as Congress formed government under Kamal Nath’s leadership after the 2018 Assembly polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as Madhya Pradesh is concerned, Chouhan has another record under his belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On November 19, 2015, when he completed ten years in office, he became the first non-Congress chief minister of the state to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he went on to become the longest-serving chief minister of MP by breaking the record of Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh who had ruled from 1993 to 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
