Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh are calling themselves Jai and Veeru. They are actually the characters – Shyam and Chhenu – of the film Mere Apne and fighting for superiority in their respective areas, Chouhan said at a press conference in Satna on Friday. “Mere Apne” is a 1971 film in which Vinod Khanna played the role of Shyam and Shatrughan Sinha that of Chhenu. Initially both of them have been friends in the film, but they fight on some issues afterwards and become sworn enemies.

They continue to fight for superiority. State election in charge of the Congress Randeep Surjewala compared the friendship of Digvijaya Singh and Kamal Nath with that of Jai and Veeru of a Bollywood blockbuster Sholay. After Surjewala’s statement, Jai and Veeru have entered the statements of politicians.
