Chief Minister Chouhan said that Maa Narmada should give me so much strength that I can continue to serve the people of the state. Whatever I have been able to do in Madhya Pradesh, it has been possible only by the grace of Maa Narmada. Water has been supplied for irrigation and drinking water to a large area of the state by constructing a dam on the Narmada river. Chief Minister Chouhan said that earlier in Khitwai, Dudharaj Maharaj used to collect water in the morning and distribute it to the villagers. But today, by the grace of Maa Narmada, taps have been installed in every village, tanks have been built, Narmada water has started reaching the houses through the tap. Chief Minister Chouhan said that he has always received immense love from the people of Khitwai. The demand of the organising committee will be fulfilled after the examination.
