Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Women are being continuously empowered in Madhya Pradesh. The Ladli Lakshmis whom I had fed, today are working to run the government. Today one such daughter Bharti is the President of Harda . The State Government implemented 50 percent reservation for women in panchayats, due to which today my sisters are ruling from village panchayat to district panchayat.
Chouhan attended the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Mahasammelan at Harda today. He dedicated and performed bhoomi-pujan of development works worth Rs 102 crore. Along with this, he distributed benefits to the beneficiaries under various government schemes. Chouhan said that Late Hariprasad Paliwal had donated his personal land of 22 acres for Eklavya Vidyalaya. The residential building of the school will be named after Late Paliwal.
The Chief Minister said that Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna has been started for the poor and middle class women of the state. All my eligible sisters will be benefited by this scheme. He said that brother-sister is a relation of affection, soul and love. Respect and welfare of sisters and daughters has been my top priority. I often keep humming this song Phoolon ka taron ka sabka kehna hai, ek hazaron me meri behna hai. The happiness of my sisters is my happiness. The life of the sisters should be happy, this will give meaning to my being the Chief Minister.
