Congress terms BJP as corrupt

In Chhindwara, BJP city president Ankur Shukla has been caught on camera while distributing money to people (bribing people). This action of BJP confirms BJP is losing Chhindwara elections by a huge margin. The country will never forgive these murderers of democracy. BJP is a synonym for corruption.”

Chhindwara the ‘Hot Seat’

Chhindwara is the bastion of veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath and the lone stronghold of Congress. This time, Nath’s son, Nakul Nath, has been fielded from the Lok Sabha seat. He is fighting against the BJP's Vivek Bunty Sahu.

Kamal Nath has held the parliamentary seat nine times since 1980. Since then, the BJP has managed to win Chhindwara only once in 72 years. Since the BJP is eyeing all 29 seats in the LS Elections and especially targeting Chhindwara, it would be interesting to see which party wins the seat at the end.
