Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday extended birthday greetings to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, praising his role in driving the state’s development.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “Best wishes to the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav Ji on his birthday. He is at the forefront of many initiatives aimed at furthering all-round development of Madhya Pradesh. Praying for his long and healthy life.”
Born in 1965 in Ujjain, Yadav completed his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) from Ujjain University and went on to pursue higher education at the same institution. He holds degrees in Law (LLB), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Yadav showed an early inclination towards public life through his association with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). He formally entered electoral politics in 2013, contesting from the Ujjain South constituency in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
He was re-elected from the same constituency in the 2018 Assembly elections.
In 2020, Yadav was inducted into the state cabinet under then Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, where he served as Higher Education Minister until 2023.
In the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, he once again secured victory from Ujjain South. On December 11, 2023, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced him as the 19th Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, marking a significant milestone in his political career.
