A day ahead of Mohan Yadav’s swearing-in, Chouhan said that he would rather die than go and ask something for himself. “I want to express one thing very openly and humbly, ‘Apne liye kuch maangne jaane se behtar, main marna samjhunga, isiliye meine kaha tha main dilli nahi jaunga'(I would rather die than go and ask something for myself, that is why I said I won’t go to Delhi,” he said.
“When a person is self-centred, he thinks about himself. But the BJP is a mission, there is some work for every worker. I will do whatever work is assigned to me,” the 64-year-old leader added.
