New Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh CMs to take oath today

On December 13th, 2023, a significant political event is unfolding in India as the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh prepare for the swearing-in ceremonies of their new Chief Ministers. 

Mohan Yadav is set to become the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, while Vishnu Deo Sai will take on the role for Chhattisgarh.

Mohan Yadav, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a three-time Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Ujjain South constituency, has been chosen to lead Madhya Pradesh. He succeeds Shivraj Singh Chouhan and brings with him a wealth of experience, having served as a cabinet minister in Chouhan's government. Yadav's victory in the 2023 elections was by a margin of over 13,000 votes.

Vishnu Deo Sai, also from the BJP, is poised to become the first tribal Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. With a strong political lineage and extensive grassroots experience, Sai's political journey began as a village sarpanch and has included roles as a Union minister and state party chief.
