Bhopal: CM Mohan Yadav, Tomar Meet Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav met former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan at his residence on Tuesday after the formation of ministry. Yadav had a closed-door meeting with Chouhan for half an hour, but it was a courtesy call.
According to sources, because Chouhan is vacating the chief minister’s residence and shifting to another government house, Yadav met him before that.
Besides Yadav, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, ministers Rakesh Singh, Tulsiram Silawat, Karan Singh Verma and Dharmendra Singh Lodhi met Chouhan. A large number of ministers are meeting Chouhan after taking the oath.
