"Shah submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today, which was then forwarded to Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, who accepted it," sources close to Chouhan told PTI here today.

Shah courted a major controversy over his alleged 'sexist' remarks. He had allegedly also made a passing reference to Sadhna Singh, wife of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, during a speech in Jhabua.
