Union Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday took out a 20-km Tiranga Yatra from Ladkui to Bhaironda with more than 10,000 farmers from Ichhawar of Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency.

Chouhan addressed the public meeting after performing Bhoomi Pujan and inauguration of various development works in Bhaironda. Shivraj Singh also interacted with the students of CM Rise School and inaugurated a school bus. In Bhaironda, Laadli sisters celebrated Rakshabandhan by tying Rakhi on the wrist of their brother Shivraj and blessed him. During this, Chouhan said that there can be no relationship more sacred than the relationship of brother and sister in the world. I will continue to work day and night for the development and welfare of sisters till my last breath.

The Union Minister said that you have showered love, I have the same feeling in my heart that uncle is also an ocean of love, love for brothers, love for sisters and love for nephews and nieces. We are not ministers so that we get filled with arrogance by sitting on the post. We are in office so that we can serve you. My people are God for me.

Chouhan said that farming is the backbone of the economy and farmers are its soul, I love the soul more than my heart. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we will leave no stone unturned in farmer welfare. Prime Minister has said from the ramparts of Red Fort that I will work three times harder to make India developed.

Chouhan said that I will also leave no stone unturned in agriculture, farmer welfare and rural development. It is our resolve to develop farming and villages.

Chouhan said that after Ladli Behna, our next destination is Lakhpati Didi Abhiyan. Every sister has to be included in the Lakhpati Club. Lakhpati Didi means the annual income of sisters should be more than 1 lakh rupees. Prime Minister Modi's resolve is to make 3 crore sisters lakhpatis.

He further said that on August 25, Prime Minister is going to Jalgaon in Maharashtra. A big program of Lakhpati Didis is being organized here. In which Prime Minister Modi will distribute Lakhpati certificates to 11 lakh sisters. Chouhan said that, by organizing a program for sisters, so many works have to be done through Ajeevika Mission that the income of sisters keeps increasing, sisters do not remain helpless, there are no tears in eyes, smiles come on faces and sons and daughters keep moving forward, this is the mission of my life.

Chouhan participated in the massive tree plantation program organized by Karunadham Ashram in Bhopal on Sunday and planted saplings. During this, Chouhan said that, when you do some work every day in life, it becomes a sadhana.

Any sacred work that is useful for others is a sadhana, it is a penance. Tree plantation is also a penance and today even the Prime Minister called for “one tree in the name of mother”, only then the earth will be saved and hence no other work can be more sacred than this. Tree plantation is a very sacred work, this earth is not only for ourselves but also for the coming generations. In the desire for material progress, we exploited it and that is why we are facing problems like climate change and global warming. That is why I felt that I will plant a tree every day. We release carbon dioxide and trees give us oxygen. So make arrangements for as much as we need to live.

The Union Minister on Sunday participated in the Tiranga Yatra here and interacted with the people. During his visit, people welcomed Shivraj in every village. Wherever Shivraj's convoy passed, sisters tied rakhi to Shivraj and blessed him. Youngsters showered flowers on him and elders blessed him by placing their hands on his head. Nephews and nieces expressed their happiness by hugging their uncle. During this, Chauhan said that such a flood of love of sisters surged in the village that I cannot describe it.
