Bhopal, 4th Sept. Poonamchand Yadav, the father of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 100. Poonamchand Yadav had been battling illness for a week and was admitted to a hospital, where he breathed his last.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav also spent time with his father on Sunday, reflecting the deep bond between them. Poonamchand Yadav’s life was marked by resilience and hard work. Originally from Ratlam, he moved to Ujjain, where he initially worked in a diamond mill before establishing a Bhajiya shop in Malipura and a Dal-Bafla shop in Freeganj. Even at the age of 100, he was known for personally visiting the market to sell his produce, embodying a spirit of dedication and self-reliance.
A devoted father, Poonamchand Yadav ensured that his children received a good education. His sons—Nandu, Narayan, and Mohan Yadav—and daughters—Kalavati and Shanti Devi—benefited from his unwavering commitment to their upbringing. Upon hearing of his father’s passing, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav left State Hangar Bhopal to be with his family.
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan expressed his condolences on Twitter, stating, “The loss of a father’s shadow is irreparable in life. The respected father may not be with you physically, but the shadow of his blessings is always with you.” BJP state president VD Sharma also shared his grief on Twitter, calling the news “extremely sad” and describing the loss as “the biggest thunderbolt of a son’s life,” adding that “this emptiness can never be filled.”
The community remembers Poonamchand Yadav as a man of great character and perseverance. His journey from working in a diamond mill to running his own shops is a testament to his hard work and determination. His legacy lives on through his children and the countless lives he touched with his kindness and dedication.
