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.
Chouhan said that no one has the right to tarnish the image of those who lived and died for the country and protected religion and culture. The state government believes in development for all. All possible cooperation will be provided by the government to maintain honor and prestige of the society and to enhance it.
The Chief Minster accepted several of the demands presented in the Kshatriya Samagam by announcing holiday on the birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap demanded by the community members. He said that the cases related to the agitations demanding a ban on the film Padmavati would be withdrawn. An action plan will be prepared in collaboration with the society regarding the construction of hostels for the students of economically weaker families. Children from economically weaker families will be charged less examination fee for competitive examinations, he said.
Chouhan announced that land will be made available by the state government to install the statue of CDS Late Vipin Rawat and the statue will be installed with the help of the local body. Chouhan attended a bhoomi-pujan ceremony for the installation of the statue of Rani Padmavati on Manuabhan tekri in Bhopal was held.
