Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has clarified that he had never said that people of other states should not come to Madhya Pradesh. In a statement issued in Bhopal yesterday, he said that people from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, South India, Punjab or any other region of India will always be welcomed in the state. Mr. Chouhan further said that he had only stated that local people should be provided 50 percent jobs in the industries set up any where in the state. <br/><br/>Earlier Mr. Chouhan’s alleged remark made in Satna on Thursday that Biharis should not be permitted to get jobs in Madhya Pradesh drew flak from all the quarters. <br/>
