On Sunday, the banks of the Kshipra River in Ujjain, the cultural capital of the country and the city of Mahakal, witnessed a historic moment that sends a profound message not only to Indian politics but also to the current landscape of society. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav solemnized the wedding of his son, himself an MBBS/PG doctor, not through a grand event or private ceremony, but through a mass wedding ceremony. This initiative was not merely a family affair, but also heralded the return of simplicity and social integrity that had been neglected in Indian politics for decades. In today's times, wedding ceremonies have become a platform for displaying personal power, grandeur, and economic strength. The weddings of politicians' children often become stories of immense wealth, glitz, and extraordinary grandeur. From South India to North India, spending crores of rupees on the weddings of politicians' children and displaying gold and silver jewellery has become an established tradition. In recent years, Madhya Pradesh has also witnessed such lavish and extravagant weddings of leaders from various parties. At such a time, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav's decision is a bold social intervention. Marrying his son to another doctor, Dr. Ishita, in a mass wedding ceremony sends a direct message to society that marriage is a celebration of love, connection, and simplicity, not a burden of debt and ostentation. This initiative is a powerful step towards curbing extravagance and fulfilling social responsibility. The simplicity of Dr. Mohan Yadav's initiative was not limited to the wedding ceremony itself, but was reflected in every small detail. The invitation card cost a mere 12. Most importantly, despite being the Chief Minister, Dr. Yadav did not mention his position. The card simply read "Mohan Yadav and the Yadav family," reflecting his principle of keeping his private and public life separate. Guests were requested not to bring any gifts. This step counters a culture where marriage becomes a medium for gift exchange and display. During the engagement, the bride and groom arrived at the venue in a bullock cart instead of an expensive or foreign car. This demonstrates his deep respect for Indian culture and rural simplicity. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav personally arranged for the wedding expenses and household items for all 21 couples participating in this mass wedding ceremony. This demonstrates that this step was taken not just for his family, but to give direction to the entire society. It is not that the Chief Minister did this to show off. Dr. Mohan Yadav's simplicity isn't limited to mass weddings; it's a hallmark of his personal life and political conduct. He is a role model of true political integrity. It's well known that Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav lives alone in his official residence. His family—wife, Mrs. Seema Yadav, son, and daughter—do not live with him in the Chief Minister's residence. His son, who is pursuing an MS after MBBS, lives in a hostel, while his wife lives with her family in their ancestral home in Ujjain. Dr. Yadav has publicly stated that he wants to shield his family from the pomp and show of the Chief Minister's position. His wife, Mrs. Seema Yadav,'s modesty and simple demeanor reinforce this family philosophy. The Chief Minister believes he is fortunate that his children listen to him and respect his desire for simplicity. In today's times, when political ambitions often draw children into politics, Dr. Mohan Yadav has kept his family away from the trappings of politics. One of his daughters is a doctor, and the other son pursues his ancestral farming and business. The CM has never allowed his family members to be used for political positions or influence. Such examples of political integrity are rare in modern Indian politics. Dr. Mohan Yadav's lifestyle stems from his deep-rooted values ​​as a dedicated soldier of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The RSS's ideology focuses on simplicity, discipline, and sacrifice, which Dr. Yadav embodies in his life. He belongs to the category of leaders who do not just talk, but live their principles.Except for a few top leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party like Deendayal Upadhyaya, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, such selfless simplicity is rarely seen in personal life. This simplicity may be common in the lives of dedicated workers like RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, senior pracharaks like the late Shaligram Tomar, and Suresh Soni, but such sacrifice and simplicity at the level of a Chief Minister is an unparalleled political courage. Dr. Mohan Yadav's move also broadens the definition of government work. The government's mandate is not merely to carry out physical development projects like roads, electricity, and water, but also to foster social reform. By arranging a mass wedding for his son and setting a model of simplicity in his personal life, Dr. Yadav has proven that his political leadership is deeply rooted in social concerns. This history created in Ujjain will inspire all politicians in the country—from councilors to MLAs and ministers—to break free from the glare of debt-fueled spending and steer society in the right direction. Dr. Mohan Yadav is truly a social reformer who has reinstated the philosophy of simple living and high thinking even while holding the post of a Chief Minister.
