The former Chief Minister added that his government has changed the face of the state in the last 15 months. “I thank the people of the state, who gave me full support in these 15 months. Due to your love and support, my government has done the work of changing the picture of the state in these 15 months,” he tweeted in Hindi.
The senior Congress leader further said that he will be with the people of the state in their happiness and sorrow. “I can assure you that I will always be in the happiness and sorrow of the people of the state, I will always struggle for your benefit. I hope and believe that I will continue to receive your love – affection – support even further,” he tweeted.
मै आपको विश्वास दिलाता हूँ कि हमेशा प्रदेश की जनता के सुख-दुःख में खड़ा रहूँगा , आपके हित के लिये सदैव संघर्षरत रहूँगा।
मुझे उम्मीद व विश्वास है कि आपका यही प्रेम – स्नेह – सहयोग मुझे आगे भी मिलता रहेगा।

Former Congress and now BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, called it a ‘victory to the people of Madhya Pradesh.’
“I have always believed that politics should be the medium of public service, but the state government had deviated from this path. Truth has won again,” Scindia tweeted.
मध्य प्रदेश में आज जनता की जीत हुई है। मेरा सदैव ये मानना रहा है कि राजनीति जनसेवा का माध्यम होना चाहिए, लेकिन प्रदेश सरकार इस रास्ते से भटक गई थी। सच्चाई की फिर विजय हुई है। सत्यमेवजयते।
