"Financial assistance of about Rs. 35,000 crore under various schemes has been deposited in the bank accounts of farmers in Madhya Pradesh during the last one year," Chouhan said.
Less than a year is left when the Lok Sabha elections 2019 will take place to constitute the 17 Lok Sabha. In Bihar, JD (U) is planning to play a dominant role.
Saini, who has repeatedly criticised the BJP in recent times, was addressing a 'Loktantra Bachao' (Save Democracy) rally in the Tigaon village in this district.
Terming the Law Commissions consultations on simultaneous polls a "futile exercise", the JD-S said the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was just "testing the waters" through it with no real intentions of reforms in the electoral process.
Chouhan had also claimed that India and Madhya Pradesh were way ahead of the US in terms of women empowerment.
Several leaders of the Bihar-based party have demanded its preeminent position in the BJP-led NDA restored, a status it enjoyed in the alliance until 2013 when Kumar broke ties with the saffron party.

Veteran Congress leader Manish Tewari welcomed the move and tweeted, "Dope test of government servants for recruitment/promotions proposed by Punjab government is a welcome step. Must be made mandatory for all MLAs and MPs from state."
Reacting to omission of his name, the RJD chief's elder son rubbished speculations about rift within the family.
A day ahead of the Foundation Day celebrations of the RJD, Aishwarya has got a prominent place along with Lalu and Rabri on party posters and banners.
Meanwhile, Congress President Rahul Gandhi indicated that the Karnataka budget, which will be presented on Thursday, will waive farm loans and said it will be a "beacon of hope for farmers".
Congress president Rahul Gandhi also accused him of playing in the hands of select industrialists.
Gandhi also alleged that the RSS saw people through the prism of religion and caste. The Congress party considers everyone as human being, he clarified.
