States, Centre now partners in progress, not rivals: CM

Bhopal: CM Mohan Yadav on Tuesday said the old notion of rivalry between the Centre and the states has been replaced by a partnership driven by collective resolve, and the country's progress has doubled when states work together. "The notion that states and the Centre are rivals has changed now, we are partners," Yadav said at the 25th Central Zonal Council meeting in UP's Varanasi. Describing the zonal council as more than just an administrative platform, he called it a "living example of cooperative federalism". PM Narendra Modi has always emphasised that India's strength lies in its diversity, but its pace and progress depends on the spirit of 'Team India', he said.

Union home minister Amit Shah chaired the zonal council meeting attended by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and Chhattisgarh CM Vishnudev Sai along with senior officials from the Centre and participating states. Yadav emphasised that as India advances toward the vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047', the role of states was vital. "Institutional platforms like NITI Aayog, the Chief Ministers' Council and Zonal Councils are not just mechanisms for dialogue but have evolved into platforms for solutions. We have learnt that ideologies may differ, but the nation's future is shared. Perspectives may vary, but the goal must be one — a strong, inclusive, and self-reliant India," he said. Yadav informed the council about key initiatives of his govt. He said 5 lakh employees will benefit from the newly approved Madhya Pradesh Public Service Promotion Rules 2025, ending a 9-year halt on promotions. Vacancies created through promotions will be filled via direct recruitment of 2 lakh positions. Under the Metropolitan Region Planning and Development Act 2025, cities like Indore, Ujjain, Bhopal, Jabalpur and Gwalior will be developed as metro clusters. Madhya Pradesh now has 17 government medical colleges.
