Madhya Pradesh Transited From Bimaru to Bemisaal Under BJP: Union Minister

She also highlighted that 90 lakh farmers in the state received Rs 12,000 per year (Rs 6,000 each from the Centre and state through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi).

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said Madhya Pradesh has transited to "Bemisaal" (extraordinary) state shedding the tag of "Bimaru" due to the good governance and people-friendly policies of the BJP government.

'Bimaru' acronym was used to refer to Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh as they had lagged in terms of economic growth, healthcare and education.

Barring a short period after the 2018 assembly elections, BJP has been ruling the state for almost 20 years in a row.
