Shivraj Singh Chauhan also urged people to pray for good rains in their villages and states. "The prayers are heard, they work. If the prayers are offered with true sentiments, God showers blessings," Mr Chauhan said.
After chairing a late-night meeting to deal with the "drought-like" situation in Madhya Pradesh - which has also triggered a power crisis-, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan visited Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain early this morning.
Officials said the Chief Minister offered prayers at the temple for the welfare of people and good rains. "The month of August has almost been dry, so a drought situation is arising in Madhya Pradesh now. Crops are in danger. I have prayed to Mahakal that it rains well and the crops be saved," Mr Chauhan said.
He also urged people to pray for good rains in their villages and states. "The prayers are heard, they work. If the prayers are offered with true sentiments, God showers blessings," Mr Chauhan said.
