Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Government jobs in Madhya Pradesh will now be allotted only to those who hail from the state, said Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday.

मेरे प्यारे भांजे-भांजियों! आज से मध्यप्रदेश के संसाधनों पर पहला अधिकार मध्यप्रदेश के बच्चों का होगा। सभी शासकीय नौकरियाँ सिर्फ मध्यप्रदेश के बच्चों के लिए ही आरक्षित रहेंगी। हमारा लक्ष्य प्रदेश की प्रतिभाओं को प्रदेश के उत्थान में सम्मिलित करना है।#MPjobs4MPstudents pic.twitter.com/f0DEkpAvxh
