Pradhan Attends 'Pragati Path Yatra' in Bhopal

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday attended the 'Pragati Path Yatra' initiative programme in Bhopal and said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was reaching out to people across the country following the completion of 12 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Speaking at the event, Pradhan said he had been engaging with different sections of society in Bhopal as part of the party's outreach initiatives. "Following the completion of 12 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, we are reaching out to people across the country through various initiatives. As per the party's plan, I am in Bhopal today. Since this morning, I have been engaging with different sections of society, as part of the 'Pragati Path Yatra'," he said.

Lauds Bhopal's Development and Cleanliness

The Union Minister also spoke about the newly inaugurated Municipal Corporation building in Bhopal, "I was informed about the new Municipal Corporation building, which was inaugurated. It stands as a witness to modern India--environmentally friendly, sustainable, energy-efficient, with ample natural light and reduced reliance on air conditioning."

He added that the building uses a natural water-cooling process instead of traditional cooling systems and expressed confidence that civic officials would further enhance the city's development. Praising Bhopal for its cleanliness, Pradhan urged the city to secure the top position in the Cleanliness Survey. "Bhopal is already known for its beauty and cleanliness, but I urge you to aim for the top spot in the Cleanliness Survey," he said.
