CM Mohan Yadav asks Ujjain women to let him work from Bhopal during 11-village tour

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav appealed to the people of his Assembly constituency, Ujjain South, and especially to women, to let him work from Bhopal for the good of the region and the state.

During a visit to 11 villages on Monday evening, Yadav said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given him big responsibilities. He therefore has to travel across Madhya Pradesh and cannot confine himself to his own constituency. He said he is able to carry out these responsibilities only because of the people's blessings. Speaking to women, he repeated the same request. The chief minister also shared in the Diwali celebrations with villagers.

Yadav visited Ranabad, Talod, Erwas, Kandaria, Ajrana, Takwasa, Hamirkhedi, Jhirolia, Fatehabad, Umaria Khalsa and Tankariyapanth. At Ranabad, he said the look of villages had changed considerably over the past 10 to 15 years, with paved roads replacing muddy tracks. He also said no house owner would be left without registration of their property, as the government has launched a campaign to give people legal ownership rights.

The chief minister said his government is committed to standing with farmers and that farmers will now get electricity for 10 hours a day. He also referred to measures to capture nilgai and deer to ease farmers' problems. Yadav urged villagers to hold their children's weddings as mass weddings, as he had done himself, and to avoid wasteful spending on events such as death feasts. He also encouraged people to raise their incomes.

In conversation with village women, Yadav asked whether the new roads had made it easier to get around their areas. He also asked about beneficiaries of the Ladli Behna Yojana.

Earlier in the day, Yadav performed Govardhan Puja at the Tilkeshwar Mahadev gaushala (cow shelter) as per tradition and fed jaggery to the cows. He appealed to people to build a personal bond with cows and take responsibility for their care, rather than limiting it to religious rituals.

He advised the people of Ujjain to build tent cities on vacant land, add rooms to their homes, or set up hotels and homestays to house pilgrims arriving for the Simhastha Mahaparva in 2028. Yadav said these arrangements would help manage the crowds of pilgrims and create new earning opportunities for local people.
