# Shivraj Singh Chouhan attacks own admin over Budhni bulldozer action 2026-10-12T04:17:35+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday, 11 October, visited Kosmi village in Madhya Pradesh’s Budhni after forest department officials bulldozed homes of poor families, destroying maize and pigeon pea crops and filling a well with soil. Chouhan called Chief Secretary Ashok Varnwal and state BJP president Hemant Khandelwal to register his anger, saying the action was a conspiracy to defame Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. After Chouhan’s outrage, the chief minister removed Sehore Divisional Forest Officer Magan Singh Dabre and appointed Archana Patel in his place. Chouhan announced that new pucca houses would be built for the affected families and temporary arrangements made until then. He said he would soon meet the chief minister personally to demand strict action against the guilty officials. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Aaj Tak and TV9 Hindi both report Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s visit to the demolition site in Budhni, his phone call to the chief secretary and the removal of the Sehore DFO. Both outlets lead with Chouhan’s anger and his description of the action as a conspiracy to defame Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
