Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday (December 25, 2025) in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, praised Chief Minister Mohan Yadav for the development taking place in the state. He said that former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan worked to remove Madhya Pradesh from the category of sick state and now Mohan Yadav is working to take it forward with more energy than Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Amit Shah was addressing the public meeting at the inauguration of Abhyudaya Madhya Pradesh Growth Summit organized at the fair ground in Gwalior on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Before the public meeting, he also performed bhumi pujan and inauguration of industrial projects costing more than Rs 2 lakh crore in Gwalior.
What did Shah say while attracting investors?
On this occasion, while attracting investors to invest in Madhya Pradesh, Shah said, ‘Crops are grown everywhere by sowing seeds, but the geographical location of Madhya Pradesh is so attractive that by sowing money here you can earn crores of rupees. The land of our Madhya Pradesh is so fertile. He said that Madhya Pradesh government has started this and at least he is confident that it will yield very good results.
Praising Chief Minister Mohan Yadav for organizing regional investment conferences, the Home Minister said that when a state develops with regional balance, the public and investors benefit the most. He said, ‘When industries with regional specialties are developed, they are also sustainable and successful. May this new idea be auspicious for Madhya Pradesh. Many best wishes to those who have invested.
The geographical location of MP is its biggest feature – Shah
Referring to the investor conference ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ organized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shah said that he had started a systematic and scientific approach of such events in the state capital. He said, ‘This brought investment into the state. It was a very good effort and it was also successful. But Mohan Yadav has started a new regional investment conference for the balanced development of the state. This beginning will be extremely beneficial for the balanced development of all the states in the coming days.
He said, ‘The biggest feature of Madhya Pradesh is its geographical location and due to this the cost of transportation gets reduced. Its 100% exploitation can be done only when industries are set up around MP. Keeping this in view, a multi-modal logistics park is being built in Indore and it is motivating companies across the country to set up their warehouses and hubs.
MP was Bimaru state during the reign of Digvijay Singh – Amit Shah
Amit Shah said, ‘Our party has done the work of showing the path of development to Madhya Pradesh, because at one time when Congress was ruling here under the leadership of former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh, this state was in the category of sick states. Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan worked to remove Madhya Pradesh from the category of sick state and now Mohan Yadav is working to take it forward with even more energy than Shivraj Singh Chouhan. With this, Madhya Pradesh will definitely become a developed state.
