Ujjain South MLA Mohan Yadav selected as new Madhya Pradesh CM
Mohan Yadav became MLA for the first time in 2013 from Ujjain Dakshin's seat. In the 2018 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections, he was once again elected and became MLA from the Ujjain Dakshin seat.
Bhopal:Mohan Yadav, who was cabinet minister in the MadhyaPradesh Government headed by Shivraj Singh Chouhan, is the BharatiyaJanataParty’s(BJP) pick as the new Chief Minister of MadhyaPradesh.
Meanwhile, the state will have two Deputy Chief Ministers namely JagdishDevda and RajeshShukla. Union Minister NarendraTomar will be MadhyaPradesh Assembly Speaker. Yadav became MLA for the first time in 2013 from UjjainDakshin’s seat. In the 2018 MadhyaPradesh Legislative Assembly elections, he was once again elected and became MLA from the UjjainDakshin seat.
Earlier on July 2, 2020, he took the oath as cabinet minister in the MadhyaPradesh Government headed by Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Earlier in the day, BJP central observers ManoharLal Khattar, Dr K Laxman and AshaLakra of MadhyaPradesh held a legislative party meeting.
The BJP on Thursday announced the three central observers, which include Haryana CM ManoharLal Khattar, K Laxman, National President, OBCMorcha and Aasha Lakda, National Secretary for the state.
During the 2018 assembly polls, the Congress returned to power with veteran leader KamalNath taking the oath as the chief minister but a political upheaval rocked the state in 2020 after then-Congressman Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 22 loyalist MLAs, switched over to the BJP camp.
The Congress government fell after being reduced to a minority and the BJP formed the government, with Shivraj Singh Chouhan returning as chief minister. But this time again, when the BJP emerged victorious with a thumping majority, the party has appointed central observers so speculations are being made in the political corridor that the party may bring a new CM face in the state. MadhyaPradesh went to poll for 230 assembly seats in a single phase on November 17 and the counting of votes was done on December 3.
The BJP, which had been battling close to 20 years of incumbency in the state, won a resounding mandate, bagging 163 seats, while the Congress finished a distant second at 66 seats. (ANI)
