Mr Shivraj Singh Chouhan is the best Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh so far in its history. He has proved by his words and deeds that the Chief Minister wants development of every section of society. Though Mr Chouhan has time and again averred that he is against giving benefits in the name of religion, yet he has made various benefits available to Muslims in the state under different welfare schemes run by the State Government, reports SMS News and Feature.
During his continuing stint of eight years, Muslims have got every opportunity to make progress in a peaceful and congenial atmosphere in Madhya Pradesh. Mr Chouhan and his ministers have seen to it that Muslims are not left behind and this is why names of community members find place in the list of beneficiaries of various welfare schemes.
