SINCE June this year, good news seems to have stopped coming
for the Shivraj Singh government in Madhya Pradesh. Worse, frequency and
intensity of bad news have only gradually increased since then. The farmers’
stir in June that claimed six lives in Mandsaur police firing marked a sort of
start for unfolding of a series of crises for the beleaguered chief minister. While
his shoddy handling of the stir exposed the hollowness of the disingenuously
built citadel of “pro-farmer” regime, the Rs. 800-crore onion scam that
surfaced in the aftermath aggravated Chouhan’s crisis of credibility. His
troubles mounted further as the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) leader Medha
Patkar’s fast for rehabilitation of 40,000 families in 200 villages
