Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that Madhya Pradesh has transformed from a "bimaru" (sick) to a "bemisal" (extraordinary) state, with the good governance of the BJP-led government.
Addressing a press conference here, the minister said the overall development in the state has come about because of 5Gs -- Growth, Good Governance, Goodwill of people, Guarantee of Modiji and Garib Kalyan (welfare of poor).
Sitharaman said that on account of the 5Gs, "Madhya Pradesh has ceased to be a bimaru state and has become a bemisal state".
She also exuded confidence that BJP will get support of all sections of the people in the assembly elections.
