BJP govt removed BIMARU tag from MP, says Amit Shah

Bhopal Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday released the Madhya Pradesh government’s ‘report card’ from 2003-2023 and said the BJP government in these years successfully removed the BIMARU (laggard) category tag from the state, which, according to him, was a legacy of the Congress regime

He said the people of the state took a historic decision in 2003 by removing the government of “Mr Bantadhar”, apparently referring to senior Congress leader and former chief minister Digvijaya Singh. The BJP government laid the foundation of making the state developed and self-reliant in the last 20 years, he said.

Shah released the government’s ‘report card’ of 20 years at a function in the Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal in the presence of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, MP BJP president VD Sharma and state Home Minister Narottam Mishra.
