Yadav will have two deputies – Jagdish Devda and Rajendra Shukla; former Minister Narendra Singh Tomar who contested the state polls will be the Speaker. CM-designate Mohan Yadav said, “I am a small worker of the party. I thank all of you, the state leadership and the central leadership. With your love and support, I will try to fulfil my responsibilities.”
Speaking to India Today, Yadav again expressed his gratitude to the BJP leadership for the support. “I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, party President JP Nadda,” Yadav said.
The announcement by the BJP ended the suspense over the Chief Minister’s identity days after the saffron party swept the state Assembly elections, winning 163 seats.
Outgoing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan proposed the name of Yadav for the top post at a meeting of the newly-elected legislators held in Bhopal in the presence of party’s central observers. Manohar Lal Khattar, who was one of the observers deputed by the party leadership, announced Mohan Yadav’s name as the next CM.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan congratulated Yadav and expressed confidence that he will take Madhya Pradesh to new heights of progress and development.
“Hearty congratulations to hard-working fellow Mohan Yadavji on being nominated as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh in the BJP Legislative Party meeting. I am confident that under the able guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you will take Madhya Pradesh to new heights of progress and development and will create new records in the field of public welfare. Many congratulations and best wishes for this new responsibility!,” Chouhan said on X.
