Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan vacated Chief Minister Residence for his successor, Mohan Yadav, on Wednesday. He has shifted to a posh B-8/74 bungalow, where wife Sadhna Singh Chouhan welcomed him with a 'tilak' and flowers.
Taking to social media, Chouhan wrote, "Here I bid farewell to CM Residence. My new address is B-8/74 bungalow. The doors are always open for you as I promise to serve public with utmost dedication."
Before shifting to the new residence along with his family, Chouhan met everyone at CM House. The police personnel deployed at CM House said farewell to him.
Chouhan shook hands with every police officer with a beaming smile on his face. Before leaving the CM House, he offered prayers at the temple and visited the Gau Shala at the CM House.
It was an emotional moment for Chouhan to leave the CM House, as he carries back several memories with him. He remained CM for more than 16 years, although he had to vacate the house for 15 months in 2018 when Kamal Nath was elected as the chief minister.
Moreover, he had planted several plants at CM House under his pledge to plant one sapling every day.
It is learned that for the last many days, Chouhan’s family has been packing, and it was finally on Wednesday that Chouhan and his family decided to vacate the CM House for new Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
