In a significant political development, Mohan Yadav assumed office as the 19th Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, ushering in a new administrative phase. Raghvendra Singh, a seasoned IAS officer from the 1997 batch, was named as the Principal Secretary to support Yadav in steering the state. This move follows the swearing-in of Jagdish Devda and Rajendra Shukla as deputy chief ministers, adding depth to the leadership structure.

The oath-taking ceremony witnessed the presence of eminent personalities such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP President JP Nadda. This event also marked the transition from Shivraj Singh Chouhan's leadership era to Yadav's tenure.

Yadav, a three-time BJP MLA, aims to prioritize education, health, employment, and overall development under Prime Minister Modi's guidance. His surprise ascension to the CM position highlights a strategic move by the BJP to engage the OBC community, a substantial voter base in Madhya Pradesh and across the nation.

The presence of influential leaders from various states underscores the political importance of Madhya Pradesh in national dynamics. Yadav's tenure signifies a transformative phase for the state's governance, aligning with BJP's strategic goals.
