CM Yadav orders inclusion of MP's religious places in pilgrimage scheme

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has directed for the expansion of the government's pilgrimage scheme for senior citizens and inclusion of the state's religious places in it. The Mukhyamantri Tirth Darshan Yojana, under which people visit various pilgrimage sites in the country, was started in 2012 by the then BJP government headed by Shivraj Singh Chouhan. In the last 12 years, nearly eight lakh persons from MP have benefitted from the scheme, which includes 41 single and 9 pair (two places in one trip) pilgrimage sites of the country, officials told the CM in a meeting on Monday. Yadav said due to the geographical structure of Madhya Pradesh, people are unable to see many pilgrimage sites and remain unaware of the special features of their own state. The scheme should be expanded for senior citizens to visit famous pilgrimage sites of the country as well as prominent religious places in MP, he said. The CM directed officials concerned to include the state's religious pl

MP cabinet minister Ramniwas Rawat takes oath twice after misreading words

BJP leader Ramniwas Rawat on Monday took oath as a cabinet minister in Madhya Pradesh, as Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expanded his ministry nearly seven months after assuming office. However, Rawat had to be sworn in twice as he misread from his oath paper as "Rajya Mantri" (state minister) instead of "Rajya Ke Mantri", which means cabinet minister, an official said. This led to confusion among mediapersons whether he took oath as a minister of state or cabinet minister. When the authorities concerned came to know of the matter, it was decided that Rawat should take oath again, he said. While the initial function was held at the Sandipani auditorium in the Raj Bhawan, the same programme was later held in the Darbar Hall of the Governor House. Governor Mangubhai Patel again administered the oath of office and secrecy to Rawat in the Darbar Hall in the presence of CM Yadav and other dignitaries. Rawat then took oath as "Rajya Ke Mantri", the official said. Later, the chief minister
