This is a historic, massive and spectacular victory of the party leaders. “For this, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the public. I congratulate all the newly elected janpad panchayat presidents and vice presidents”, he added.

“For self-reliant India, self-reliant villages and self-reliant development blocks- This is our goal,” he said.
Chouhan said the government had accomplished many development works in the village, but now the target was to develop the remaining infrastructure in the village. Infrastructure meant road, drain, anganwadi, school, market, different types of development work.
Along with this, he said, the village should be completely clean. There should be availability of drinking water in every village through tap water. “We will work fast on this. If there are certain villages and settlements which are left somewhere a campaign will be started to connect them with the roads”, he added.
