CM Dr Yadav expressed these views in a media message issued from New Delhi regarding Vikramotsav. Dr Yadav highlighted that Samrat Vikramaditya is remembered with great respect not only in India but worldwide for his sense of justice, wisdom, patience, valour, perseverance, bravery, and depth of thought. Over 2,082 years ago, he defeated foreign invaders and established the Vikram Samvat calendar. He ensured good governance by appointing 32 competent ministers, which led to his throne being known as ‘Simhasan Battisi’. Samrat Vikramaditya also introduced a democratic governance system by forming a council of nine ministers (Navratnas), whose collective decisions were implemented instead of unilateral rule by the king. Many modern-day governance principles trace their roots back to his era.
