A special welcome by wife was waiting for former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan at home as his name figured on the BJP's first list of 195 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. His wife, Sadhna Singh, greeted him at their home's doorstep, applied tilak on his forehead and garlanded him. She also performed 'aarti' - a ritual of welcoming guests by offering blessings - and touched his feet.
