On a day he completed 12 years in office, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said the Bhagvadgeeta and Swami Vivekananda are his sources of inspiration.
Chouhan was felicitated by Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki at a glittering function here to mark the occasion.
During his interaction with college students, Chouhan said he drew inspiration from the Geeta and Swami Vivekanand.
To a query, he said a firm determination bears fruits.
"The Madhya Pradesh government worked hard under the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' as a result of which Indore city was declared the cleanest place followed by Bhopal in the entire country," the chief minister said.
Meanwhile, in a series of tweets, Congress chief whip in Lok Sabha Jyotiraditya Scindia took a swipe at the CM over the "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state as well as the suicides by farmers.
"Bhopal gang rape has taken place right under the nose of Chouhan. Crime against women in on a rise. Police instead of helping (the Bhopal gang rape victim) mocked (her)," he said in a tweet.
"Why women's safety has not been attended in 12 years," he said.
"21,000 farmers committed suicide in last 16 years," Scindia said in another tweet.
