Posting on X, CM Yadav wrote: 'भारतीय जनता पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय महामंत्री श्री हरीश द्विवेदी जी की पूज्य माताजी श्रीमती यशोदा देवी जी के निधन का समाचार अत्यंत दुखद है।' ('The news of the passing of Smt. Yashoda Devi ji, the revered mother of BJP National General Secretary Shri Harish Dwivedi ji, is deeply saddening.') He offered his humble tributes to the departed soul.
A prayer to Baba Mahakal for strength and peace
In keeping with his deeply held spiritual sensibility, CM Yadav invoked Baba Mahakal — the presiding deity of Ujjain and a figure central to his own public identity — praying that the departed be granted a place at the Lord's feet, and that the bereaved family find the strength to endure this difficult hour. He closed with the solemn invocation: 'ॐ शांति!' — the Sanskrit prayer for peace.
Harish Dwivedi serves as a National General Secretary of the BJP, a rank that places him among the party's most senior organisational figures at the national level. The loss of a parent is among the most personal of griefs, and expressions of condolence from a sitting Chief Minister carry both the weight of institutional protocol and genuine human solidarity.
In Indian political culture, such public tributes are a mark of the bonds that tie party leadership together — and CM Yadav's words reflect the quiet, dignified solidarity that defines moments like these.
Smt. Yashoda Devi is remembered through the grief of those who loved her. May her soul rest in peace.
Point of View
Understated as they are, serve as visible signals of solidarity that the party's internal culture prizes. In a high-pressure political environment, the human gesture of a sitting CM pausing to publicly mourn a colleague's personal loss reflects the interpersonal fabric that holds large party machinery together.
