Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for renaming Habibganj Railway Station after Rani Kamlapati. Chouhan said that I am grateful to the Prime Minister Modi on behalf of the people of the state and the tribal community.
Chouhan said that Habibganj railway station has been given a modern look only on the initiative of Prime Minister Modi. This in itself is an example. Modi has named the railway station as Rani Kamlapati. Rani Kamlapati was the pride of the Gond society. She was the last Hindu queen. The outside commander Dost Mohammad usurped her kingdom by deceit and treachery. When Rani Kamlapati saw that victory was not possible, she sacrificed herself by 'Jal Johar' for the sake of self-respect. Naval Shah, son of Rani Kamlapati, was killed near Lalghati.
The Chief Minister said that in childhood, we used to hear "Taal to Bhopal Taal Baaki Sab Talaiya - Raniyon Mein Rani to Kamlapati Rani Baki Sab Ranaiyya" (Bhopal's lake is the best, among the queens Kamlapati is the greatest). Kamla Park has already been developed in her name in Bhopal. The Prime Minister has enhanced the pride and honor of the tribes by renaming Habibganj Railway Station as Rani Kamlapati Railway Station on the occasion of Janjatiya Gourav Diwas.
Chouhan said that I am deeply grateful to Prime Minister Modi. Chief Minister Chouhan said this in a message issued to the media from his residence.
