Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that a Case Credit Society will be formed by the Co-operative Department for financial assistance to the youth of Rajput Kshatriya community if needed and the state government will co-operate in it. The Chief Minister said that the income limit for reservation for economically weaker families would be up to Rs.8 lakh and reservation would be made for economically weaker candidates in MPPSC recruitment.
Chouhan made this announcement while addressing at the Kshatriya Samagam. He said that Maharana Pratap never compromised on independence. He is the source of our strength, power and inspiration. Prithviraj Chauhan defeated foreign invaders 18 times. There are numerous such brave and revolutionary heroes in the land of India including Rana Sanga, Bappa Rawal, Rani Padmavati, Kunwar Singh, Rana Bakhtawar Singh, Kunwar Chain Singh, who destroyed the enemy by sacrificing everything for their motherland. Be it the protection of the borders of the country or protecting the poor and weak from atrocities, the Kshatriya community never cared for their lives. I salute such brothers and sisters.
