Congress leaders argued that they didn\u2019t have any problem with the poster of Ambedkar but they shouldn\u2019t have replaced the poster of first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a conspiracy of the BJP to change history. We welcome the move to install the poster of BR Ambedkar but it is highly objectionable that they removed the picture of Nehru. Nehru was a freedom fighter and his contribution towards India can\u2019t be ignored like that. We will raise a demand to put a poster of Nehru again in the House,\u201d said Ajay Singh, senior Congress leader and MLA from Churhat. <\/p>\n

MP Legislative Assembly principal secretary AP Singh said, \u201cThe posters were in a bad shape so previous speaker Girish Gautam had taken a decision in July this year to replace them. It was his decision to put a poster of Father of Indian Constitution BR Ambedkar in the House.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Monday, the Assembly also witnessed the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected MLAs. <\/p>\n

Chief minister Mohan Yadav, leader of Opposition in the state assembly Umang Singhar and deputy chief ministers Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Deveda took oath. Former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took oath in the fifth position. <\/p>\n

BJP MLA Narendra Singh Tomar filed nomination for the post of assembly Speaker. He will be elected unopposed. The speaker of the Assembly will be elected on December 20. <\/p>\n

Chief minister Mohan Yadav said, \u201cOur double engine is continuously implementing the public welfare and development schemes launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi effectively. <\/p>\n

Former CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan told the media, \u201cThere has been a generation change. Mohan Yadav is the chief Minister and Umang Singhar is the Leader of Opposition. Generation change is a natural process. This is visible on both sides. I have full confidence that under the leadership of chief minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, the state will reach new heights of progress and development.\u201d <\/p>\n

Chouhan will meet BJP national president JP Nadda in Delhi on Tuesday. \u201cI will attend a meeting Delhi on Tuesday as the national president JP Nadda had called me up,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
