Raipur, Nov 8 : Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has termed the all round development and progress achieved by Chhattisgarh government in a span of nine years as 'miracle'.

Mr Chauhan also hailed the Raman government for having done a miracle by providing rice at Re 1 and Rs 2 per kg to the poorer sections of the society.

''The government has also given a major relief to the farmers by providing agricultural credit at a very nominal rate of 3 per cent which is being followed by his government in Madhya Pradesh,'' he added.

Mr Chouhan said when the national capital Delhi and other metros were reeling under power crisis, Chhattisgarh was heading to be the power hub of the nation. He hoped that Chhattisgarh would continue to supply power to Madhya Pradesh to tide over its power crisis.
