In an exclusive interaction with Millennium Post Chief Correspondent Satyaprakash Sharma, CM Yadav outlines how coordinated security action, policy reforms and people centric schemes are reshaping the state's development trajectory, while laying out a clear roadmap for a 'Developed Madhya Pradesh' by 2028.Q: Looking back at the last two years, what do you consider the most defining milestone of your government?

Ans: The most significant turning point has been the complete elimination of Naxalism from Madhya Pradesh. Districts like Mandla, Balaghat and Dindori, which once struggled with insecurity, are now free from extremist influence. The surrender of senior Maoist leaders and the dismantling of their networks have restored peace to the forest and tribal regions. This achievement has not only ensured public safety but also opened the door to development and investors' confidence.

Q: What made the anti-Naxal operations particularly challenging?
