The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially announced Mohan Yadav as the chief minister-elect for Madhya Pradesh, solidifying its victory in the November 17 polls. The decision came after BJP observers held discussions with the newly elected MLAs in the state.
Mohan Yadav, an MLA from Ujjain South, has been chosen to lead Madhya Pradesh. With prior experience as a minister in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan cabinet, Yadav represents the Ujjain Dakshin constituency in Ujjain district in the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
The BJP successfully retained power in Madhya Pradesh, securing 163 seats out of the 230-member assembly. This resounding victory left the Congress trailing far behind with only 66 seats.
In a strategic move, the BJP appointed Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda as deputy chief ministers for Madhya Pradesh. Rajendra Shukla, hailing from the Rewa constituency, and Jagdish Devda, representing Mandsaur, bring diverse perspectives and experiences to support Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in his leadership. Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda will play crucial roles in shaping the state’s policies and governance. Their appointments signify the BJP’s commitment to inclusive and collaborative governance in Madhya Pradesh.
Adding another significant development, Narendra Tomar has been elected as the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker. His role as Speaker will be instrumental in maintaining parliamentary decorum and facilitating smooth legislative proceedings.
