Chief Minister Mohan Yadav Offers Prayers Before Demolishing Ancestral Home for Development Project

Ujjain, September 27 (Daily Kiran) : Chief Minister Mohan Yadav visited his ancestral home in Ujjain on Sunday, offering prayers before its demolition as part of the development works for the Singhast Kumbh. A section of his family house is set to be removed to make way for a new road.

Reflecting on the significance of his home, Yadav shared, “This house has witnessed my journey since I won my first election in 1982. It has been a witness to my political career, and it holds deep memories.” He acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment, stating that while it is difficult to part with a childhood home, the needs of the community must come first.

Yadav expressed gratitude towards the residents of Ujjain who are also voluntarily relocating their homes for the greater good. “Our city has a population of 800,000, but we expect 30 to 40 million visitors. We must contribute to ensure that everyone can benefit from this development,” he said.

Emphasizing a sense of collective responsibility, he noted that his family built the house through hard work, and he feels a strong attachment to it. However, he believes that the community’s needs outweigh personal sentiments. “We will not seek any compensation for our home. It is our duty to contribute to our city,” he stated.

Yadav praised the unity among residents, highlighting that everyone, regardless of background, has participated in this initiative. He also thanked the Prime Minister for enabling such significant decisions in the state. “While it is a bittersweet moment filled with childhood memories, we must remain steadfast in our duties,” he concluded.
