Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is known to be extremely Twitter savvy. Like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chouhan is a regular user of the microblogging website and never misses an opportunity to tweet about relevant social and political events. 

However, something curious happened on Tuesday that goes well beyond the normal tweeting habits of the MP CM.

Chouhan replied to a couple of tweets made by newly inducted Union Rail Minister Suresh Prabhu. Prabhu had posted saying all those who work for the Railways must work towards realising the PM's dream. 

There was prompt reaction to this tweet from Chouhan's Twitter handle, saying, "I like it you said hon'bl PM's dream not dream of Indians! He will definitely be pleased by your bhakti. U will go places!" 

The tweet, however, was promptly deleted. But many alert Twitter users took screenshots of the controversial tweet.

The is a throwback to the excuse Suresh Raina gave when he tweeted anti-Pakistan views, only to say that his nephew did it. This incident was described as Shivraj Singh Chouhan's nephew moment. 

The tweet has been deleted from Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Twitter handle and no official explanation has been given about it. Even if the tweet was posted as an act of mischief by any of Chouhan's aides, it shows how fragile these social media platforms are to potential misuse.
