The Deputy CM said deities resided in the cow, and cow dung and urine were used in worship, which was proof of the cow’s sanctity. With her blessings, he said, he would always strive for the region’s development, and together they would make Rewa and the Vindhya region first in development. MP Janardan Mishra said Shukla had remained unblemished even in the thorny and stained lanes of politics. He said that in the resolve he had taken for cow service and public service, he had written a new chapter of development in the Vindhya. Despite many ups and downs in life, Shukla had always given public service the highest priority.
