(THE NEWSMAN OF INDIA.COM) by Abul Hasan In a rare yet heartwarming gesture that reinforces his deep connect with the common man, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav on Thursday night was seen walking through the streets of Tatya Tope Nagar, Bhopal, buying fruits from a local roadside vendor—just like any regular citizen.

What stood out even more than his simple act of purchasing fruits was the ease and humility with which he did so. Choosing to pay via e-payment, Dr. Yadav not only displayed faith in digital India’s tools but also subtly encouraged small vendors and the public to embrace the cashless economy.

Dressed simply, without any VIP paraphernalia or heavy convoy, Dr. Yadav arrived with just two vehicles, spent around 15 minutes engaging with fruit sellers and other citizens. He inquired about the vendors’ livelihoods, understood their daily challenges, and offered words of encouragement—all with genuine warmth and respect.

What truly underscored his “CM of commoners” image was his conduct on the city streets. At a traffic signal, Dr. Yadav instructed his vehicle driver to wait at the red light just like every other citizen, emphasizing that rules are meant to be followed equally by all, regardless of one’s stature.

In an era where public figures are often seen as distant from the everyday lives of people, Dr. Mohan Yadav’s down-to-earth actions reflect his commitment to transparency, accessibility, and empathy. His leadership continues to resonate not through grand speeches, but through simple, powerful gestures that speak volumes.
