“The intersection in Mainpuri is named after Madhavrao Scindia and today we installed his statue. The memorial built for Madhavrao Scindia is small. Work will be done to make it grand and beautiful,” he said.
Expressing his gratitude, the chief minister said that he was grateful to the people of Mainpuri for their support in the civic elections.

“Earlier, benefits were only provided to a select group of people, but now all poor people are receiving benefits from government schemes without any discrimination”, he added.

The chief minister informed that in six years, free houses have been given to 54 lakh poor people, and 1,21,000 ‘majras’ have been electrified in the state. "In every district of the state, new opportunities for skill development and employment are being provided by linking the institutions with the industry," Yogi said.
