Coordination panel likely for MP
Bhopal, Jan 08: The All India Congress Committee AICC is
considering formation of coordination committee in Madhya
Pradesh, instead of declaring new executive body. There is sense
of urgency as Congress feels assembly elections might be held
before November 2008. At present Subhash Yadav continues in the
office of PCC president with his own executive. Factionalism has
failed to recede in the party in spite of its high command's
repeated efforts. So, in that context, coordination panel is the
only viable solution.
Achievements through 10th five-year plan
Bhopal, Jan 08: The period of the 10th five year plan that ended
in March last was marked by brilliant achievements in key
development sectors including infrastructure. The state of
public finance improved significantly during the period. The
plan was approved for Rs 25,737.25 crore. The actual outlay
approved has been Rs 33,725.96 crore. The increase has been
possible because of higher revenue mobilization, both at Centre
as well as in the State, and containment of non-plan revenue
expenditure through strict economy measures.

state level function on the occasion of Republic Day. A
