Ahead of the Assembly election 2023, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has collaborated with viral meme sensation Bhupendra Jogi in a hilarious Instagram video. In the clip, the minister playfully engages with Mr Jogi, in the format that initially made Mr Jogi famous in 2018. Their conversation centres around Mr Jogi's name and awareness of the government schemes, and then culminates into a lighthearted moment of tree planting.
"Naam me kya rakha hai, aapka kaam bolna chahiye [What's in a name, your actions should speak]," Mr Chouhan captioned the post.
Watch the video below:
In the clip, the Madhya Pradesh CM asks Mr Jogi his name and if he is aware of his policies. To this, Mr Jogi answers in the affirmative. Mr Chohan then asks him to name a few of the policies. To this, Mr Jogi hilariously replies with his own name- Bhupendra Jogi.
Mr Chohan shared the clip just a day back and since then it has accumulated more than 647,000 likes and over 8.5 million views. Several users took to the comments section to share their reactions.

"Winner of the trend," wrote one user. "Power of memes and memers," said another. "Unexpected collaboration," commented a third. "Collaboration we don't deserve," added another.
Meanwhile, Bhupendra Jogi first gained attention during a candid conversation with a journalist in 2018 ahead of the election in Madhya Pradesh. In the video, a man (Mr Jogi) claimed that the roads in his state are better than those in the United States. The journalist then asks the man's name, to which he replies "Bhupendra Jogi". The journalist then requests him to name a few places he has been in the US. To this, Mr Jogi replies with his own name again.
This straightforward introduction made Bhupendra Jogi an overnight internet sensation in 2018. And now as the video has recently resurfaced on social media, it has made Mr Jogi popular yet again.
