Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday claimed that the people of Chhindwara have made up their minds to oust the ‘outsider’ and ensure the victory of the local candidate in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP has fielded Chhindwara district unit president Vivek Bunty Sahu against the Congress’s sitting MP Nakul Nath from Chhindwara, a constituency from where his father Kamal Nath has won nine times.
Talking to reporters, the chief minister said, “Chhindwara is not the Congress’s gadh (fort). The party’s problem is that it only fields a candidate belonging to one family. But this time, the people of Chhindwara have decided to send the outsider out and ensure the victory of the local candidate.”
Yadav was present at a function where former Congress MLA Parul Sahu and Chhindwara district panchayat vice chairman Amit Saxena joined the BJP along with their supporters.
