I will visit the new Tiger Reserve Park and release the tiger with Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. With this, we will fulfill our resolve in which we have said that Madhya Pradesh has an opportunity to move in all directions. We should take every opportunity for the betterment of the people," CM Yadav said.
