The former chief minister of MP took to Twitter and penned down a series of tweets expressing dismay over the VHP member’s death. He said, “In Mandsaur, Vishwa Hindu Parishad activist Yuvraj Singh was killed in broad daylight today. This murder is not the killing of any person but law and order. Nowadays law and order are not followed anywhere in Madhya Pradesh.” 

“People are being shot with bullets each day and the Madhya Pradesh government is sleeping in Kumbhakaran-like sleep. This situation is unbearable. Is this the time for a change? Is this why the government changed in the state?” Shivraj Singh Chouhan added. 

He continued by saying, “I demand that the culprits behind this incident be caught immediately. We cannot sit hand in hand, the government should not test our patience!”
