Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi was greeted with ‘Modi-Modi’ chants as the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra wove through Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. The senior Congress leader offered prayers at the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain alongside fellow party leader Kamal Nath. BJP workers also offered potatoes to him — in a mocking gesture — while he blew a kiss in response.
After failing to retain its stronghold of Chhindwara in the Lok Sabha elections, senior Congress leader Kamal Nath’s family is gearing up for another challenge.
After the Congress failed to even retain its lone seat in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday, voices of unrest have grown louder in the party’s Congress unit.
One of the biggest winners of the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh was Vivek ‘Bunty’ Sahu, the 45-year-old chief of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chhindwara unit. The leader became a ‘giant slayer’ Tuesday after results showed that he had beaten Congress’s sitting MP Nakul Nath in Chhindwara — the stronghold of Kamal Nath, Nakul’s father and a former chief minister of the state — by a margin of 1,13,618 votes.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) not only made a clean sweep in all the 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh, it even wrested former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath’s stronghold, Chhindwara, which has remained elusive for the ruling party for decades.
The BJP bettered its sweep of Madhya Pradesh in 2019 by picking up the sole seat it had lost in 2019, the bastion of former chief minister and veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath. His son Nakul Nath lost from Chhindwara to the BJP’s Bunty Vivek Sahu by a margin of over 1 lakh votes.
Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath, whose bastion Chhindwara seems to be slipping away from his party this time, said Tuesday that he accepted the “decision of the people”.
One of the few Gond community members from Chhindwara to pursue an MBBS degree, 21-year-old Akash says a lot has changed in the Madhya Pradesh district. “Earlier, we were forced to go to Nagpur for medical treatment. Now, even knee replacement surgeries are performed here. A medical college helps sustain an ecosystem of clinics and other related businesses. Hence, it is important in the tribal belt,” says the 21-year-old.
The villagers of Bhalpani in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara district look to the sky for signs of their MP Nakul Nath, son of Congress veteran and ex-chief minister Kamal Nath. The whirring of the helicopter announces his arrival as Nakul lands in the sleepy hamlet comprising mud-brick houses.
