MP CM and new DGP– both hail from Ujjain
Madhya Pradesh is soon going to witness a very rare occurrence, as the state’s Chief Minister and the new Director General of Police (DGP) will be from the same city.
Congress Bharat Jodo Yatra led by former party president Rahul Gandhi entered Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday.
The yatra today resumed after a two-day break from Boderli village in the Burhanpur district of Madhya Pradesh. During the break from Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi addressed two election rallies in poll-bound Gujarat.
A large number of Congress leaders and workers including Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath participated in the yatra on the first day in Madhya Pradesh.

Today is the 77th day of the Congress foot march.
Congress General Secretary Incharge of Communication Jairam Ramesh said that the yatra will go through seven districts of the state over the next 11 days.
“Today is the 77th day of Bharat Jodo Yatra as it resumes from near Burhanpur in southwestern MP. Burhanpur has a long history and became an important place during the Mughal rule, especially during Shah Jahan’s reign. The Yatra will go through 7 districts of MP over the next 11 days,” the Congress leader said in a tweet.
