There appeared to be such a hurry in initiating the proceedings that the Rouse Avenue Court judge’s name who pronounced the judgement was misspelled as ‘Digvijay Singh’ in gazette notification appearing with signature of state assembly principal secretary Arvind Sharma. Bhopal The high drama witnessed in Madhya Pradesh state assembly’s principal secretary’s office on Thursday night would have been possibly avoided had Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar decided not to go for immediate proceedings for disqualification of the Opposition Congress’ MLA Rajendra Bharti from the House and declaring his seat vacant after the latter was sentenced to three years imprisonment by…

PM’s praise for the CM that ‘he is at the forefront of many initiatives aimed at furthering all-round development of Madhya Pradesh’ comes at a time when there seems to be a state of conflict between Dr Mohan Yadav and several of his ministerial colleagues and also between him and certain other politicians.

PM greeted the CM through microblogging…

इस क्विज़ में मुख्य रूप से वही प्रश्न शामिल हैं जिनका संबंध डॉ. मोहन यादव के वर्तमान कार्यकाल की उपलब्धियों से है. यह क्विज़ सरकार द्वारा जारी किया गया है, इसलिए इसमें वर्तमान मुख्यमंत्री की नीतियों एवं उपलब्धियों को प्रमुखता दी गई है. इसमें कुछ भी गलत नहीं है पर इस क्विज़ में पूर्व मुख्यमंत्रियों के नाम विशेषकर चौहान का नाम देने से अनावश्यक विवाद खड़ा हो सकता है कि डॉ. मोहन यादव के सामने चौहान को खड़ा करने की क्यों कोशिश की गई और क्या इस क्विज़ में वे उपलब्धियां शामिल हैं जो चौहान के समय हासिल की गई थीं?…

Having assumed his office on December 13, 2023 Dr Yadav handpicked Raghvendra Singh to lead his secretariat. Later, additional chief secretary Dr Rajesh Rajora was brought in the CMO. Soon after, Raghvendra Singh was shifted to Revenue department during the first major CMO rejig. Bhopal: Frequent bureaucratic reshuffles in his first two years of office, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Dr Mohan Yadav seems to be still looking for the right man in the right place. Just six months away from half his term the moot question haunting the CM must be if he has done enough to consolidate his position…

On an average, firecracker factory blasts take place every two years. People are killed and again the government and administration refuse to learn from these incidents Bhopal: Neither did they have a car nor 50 kg gold to hide in it. Neither did they have luxurious bungalows and offices in posh areas nor legal or illegal earnings of crores to keep in them. They had not even seen the government’s arbitrary figures of per capita income. Therefore, they went from Madhya Pradesh to Gujarat in search of work, but even there they met death, for which the local administration seems…

It remains to be seen whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains the PM face of the BJP in the 2029 elections or not, but in both the situations, the results of 2024 will continue to haunt the central BJP leadership as the party’s tally came down to 33 seats from 63 in Uttar Pradesh where it was expecting to get more than 70 seats out of the total 80. Bhopal: Is the Bhartiya Janata Party looking for a big regional Hindutva icon ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections who can help the party regain its lost ground especially in…

I thought of only taking my parents to Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh. But then I started seeing repeated advertisements of the government on TV and newspapers that this Maha Kumbh is going to take place in Prayagraj after 144 years and that the government is making all the arrangements for the coming devotees and their holy dip in the Sangam Like many other people of my village, I would have gone to Maha Kumbh anyway. I did not need anyone’s invitation. I could not leave the tradition which has been going on for centuries. But on the way, thinking about…

It is humbly requested to kindly inform the concerned VVIPs, VIPs and other dignitaries to refrain from making their programmes of visit to Prayagraj during the following main parva/ shahi snan period to avoid inconvenience: Special secretary to UP CM in advisory dated January 3, 2025 to Union cabinet secretary, chief secretaries, ADC and others. PRAYAGRAJ/BHOPAL: Call it utter disregard to Uttar Pradesh government’s advisory sent to VVIPs including Central ministers or lack of proper communication, Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Mahakumbh Mela on January 27 along with his family members to have a holy dip at Sangam, the…

As per a written reply from union minister for Home Affairs in Lok Sabha in August last year, as many as 65893 cyber crime cases were reported from across the country in the year 2022 whereas such crimes number stood at 50035 in 2020 A 35-year-old woman teacher ending life by suicide in Mauganj district of Madhya Pradesh on Sunday evening, having been harassed by cybercriminals should set an alarm bell ringing in the corridors of the government which must deal with iron hands and take a prompt action to institute a central investigation agency like NIA to deal with…

The moot question is what went wrong with the state government’s approach that residents of this town had to take to streets in the wake of shifting of the 337 tonne of toxic chemical or it was really a result of “fake news” Bhopal: Situation in Pithampur industrial town, about 220 km west of Bhopal, in Dhar district, seems to be under control now with chief minister, Madhya Pradesh Dr Mohan Yadav’s intervention in the local residents’ protest to assure them that nothing would be allowed to harm them. The moot question is what went wrong with the state government’s…
