We will welcome positive criticism be it from the opposition...: MP CM Mohan Yadav

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav says he welcomes constructive criticism from opposition, media and common people while addressing governance and Chhindwara tragedy.

"We will welcome positive criticism and discussion on any topic, be it from the opposition, the media or the common man. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, October 8

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said that he would welcome positive criticism and discussion on any topic, be it from the opposition, the media or the common man.

CM Yadav made the remark while talking to reporters after the two-day Collector-Commissioner conference concluded in the state capital Bhopal on Wednesday.

"In the two-day Collector-Commissioner conference, a discussion was held on how the administrative system can function effectively and efficiently at the grassroots level. I had said yesterday as well that the administrative machinery should work in coordination with elected public representatives to ensure that every government scheme reaches the people at the ground level. Our officers should assist everyone and work in the direction of making governance more organised and effective," CM Yadav told reporters.

Highlighting the recent Chhindwara incident, the CM said that when any incident occurs due to negligence, it causes a lot of pain.

"At the same time, it is true that in such a large state, whenever an unfortunate incident occurs due to any lapse in the system, it causes deep pain. When negligence happens and we lose our people, then it causes a lot of pain. Be it the recent Chhindwara incident. I asked our Health Minister to visit Nagpur where children are undergoing treatment, and he also visited Chhindwara," the CM said.

He added, "Overall, it is our collective accountability. I would like to say to members of my party as well as to those in the opposition that elections come once in five years, but in the time between them, mutual understanding and compassion must continue. I do not mind positive criticism, provided the right things are said within respectful bounds. We will welcome positive criticism and discussion on any topic, be it from the opposition, the media or the common man."

Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister Rajendra Shukla on Wednesday said that 20 children have died so far due to consumption of Coldrif cough syrup in the state.

Of these 20 children, 17 were from Chhindwara district, two from Betul district, and one was from Pandhurna district.

"20 children have lost their lives in the unfortunate incident from Chhindwara, Betul and Pandhurna districts. The state government is quite strict. The police teams from Chhindwara have reached Chennai and Kanchipuram to arrest the owner of the Coldrif manufacturing company, and strict action is being taken into the matter," Shukla told reporters.

While the sentiment is good, actions speak louder than words. The Chhindwara tragedy shows serious gaps in our drug regulation system. Need concrete steps, not just speeches.

As someone working in public health, I appreciate the CM's acknowledgment of collective accountability. This is exactly what we need - leaders who take responsibility rather than blaming others.

Good to see the government taking action against the company owners. But what about the local officials who allowed this substandard medicine to be sold? The accountability should go all the way up.

Hope this positive criticism approach continues beyond election season. Our democracy needs more mature politics like this. 🤞
