Special session of Madhya Pradesh Assembly to be held on December 17

Madhya Pradesh was formed on November 1, 1956, and its first assembly session was held on December 17 that same year.

"The first session of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly was held on December 17, and this day holds great significance in the history of the state assembly. A special session is being organised on this occasion. In this session, all members will discuss what needs to be done to build a Vikshit Madhya Pradesh (developed MP)," Tomar told reporters.

He further said, "We all know that our previous generations worked hard to advance the state under challenging circumstances. Today, we are far more capable, and Madhya Pradesh is counted among the developing states, having set several benchmarks in various fields as well. To achieve the goal of making Madhya Pradesh a developed state, we should discuss and move forward based on its conclusions. From this perspective, I believe this session will prove to be very productive."

Tomar, along with BJP MLA Bhagwan Das Sabnani and others, also paid floral tribute to former Chief Minister of the state, late Bhagwantrao Mandloi, on the occasion of his birth anniversary on Monday.

"Late Bhagwantrao Mandoli had been the chief minister of our state. It is the birth anniversary of Mandoli and we gathered here to pay floral tribute to him. He was a highly dedicated and inspiring personality. He achieved many milestones in political and public life. From the freedom struggle to independent India, he successfully discharged several responsibilities," the assembly speaker said.

Remembering the former Chief Minister's contributions, Tomar said that although he was not physically present among them, his way of life and contributions continue to inspire them. On behalf of the state assembly family, he offered floral tributes at his portrait in the state assembly. (ANI)
