Chouhan to begin another yatra,Cong calls it stunt

The BJP government has finalised seven priorities that include attracting more investment,making agriculture a profitable business,empowering women and good governance to achieve what Chouhan calls ‘Swarnim Madhya Pradesh’. The CM will take feedback from officials on implementation of schemes launched.

However,the Congress is unimpressed and has described the roadshow as a ‘political stunt’. PCC chief Suresh Pachauri alleged Chouhan had no control over bureaucracy and that the state was lagging behind in social and development index. “MP stood 12th in the list of 15 big states with poor human development index. More than 32 per cent population is living below the poverty line and out of every 1,000 babies born,28 die before they celebrate their first birthday and 70 die before turning three,” Pachauri said.

Pachauri alleged six power companies that had signed MoUs with the state government had stopped taking interest citing lack of cooperation.
