MP CM Mohan Yadav takes holy dip in Shipra river in Ujjain
Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 2 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav took a holy dip in Shipra river in Ujjain on Thursday.
During this, CM Yadav was also seen performing swimming in the river.
After taking the holy dip, CM Yadav told reporters, "It is our tradition to value this holy pilgrimage.
The Chief Minister also performed pooja rituals and offered prayers to the Shipra River on the occasion. Ujjain is the hometown of the chief minister and he often visits here.
"Ujjain is Baba Mahakal ki nagri, out of 12 jyotirlingas, the most important jyotirlinga 'Mahakaleshwar temple' is located here which fulfils everyone's wish. Whenever there have been some bigger changes in the world, they must have a connection to Ujjain, some way or another. I took a holy dip today in Mother Shipra. From tomorrow, 'Panchkoshi Parikrama' will be started in which people come with their faith and beliefs," the chief minister further added.
"I am sad that Congress' state President is not able to tolerate an OBC Chief Minister. He (Jitu Patwari) is constantly using low standard language. Those who could not save their own candidate (referring to Indore candidate Akshay Kanti Bam) are questioning others. I hope he will stop doing this," CM Yadav said.
