Shivraj Singh Chouhan congratulated Mohan Yadav after he was elected BJP legislative leader and next Madhya Pradesh chief minister, saying: "I congratulate my dedicated colleague...I am sure under PM Modi's leadership, you will take MP to new development heights." The 58-year-old Yadav, an OBC leader and Ujjain MLA, was the Higher Education Minister under Chouhan, whose welfare schemes helped his party tap the women's votes in the last elections. Chauhan expressed confidence in CM Yadav to "create new records in the field of public welfare" under the "guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi". Yadav won recent elections by nearly 13,000 votes. His name ended 10-day BJP suspense over the top post after the election, as he was a surprise against other names floated.
