Will BJP repeat the experiment of 1998 this Lok Sabha Election?
Currently it is being said that this time bjp will soon declare candidates for six lok sabha seats Jabalpur, Damoh, Chhindwara, Morena, Sidhi and Narmadapuram. These are those seats whose MPs have resigned from the lok sabha after winning the assembly elections or the party had to data-face defeat in the 2019 elections. Now if we talk about Chhindwara, bjp is preparing to repeat the experiment of 1998 here. The story of that period is such that congress did not give ticket to kamal nath after his name cropped up in the Hawala scandal in 1996. He fielded his wife Alka Nath in the election. Due to his wide support base in Chhindwara, kamal nath made his wife Alkanath win the election.
Reportedly the twist in the story comes when kamal nath got a notice to vacate the bungalow in Lutyens Zone due to being an mp in Delhi. kamal nath tried hard to get this bungalow allotted to his wife Alka Nath, but his wife had become mp for the first time. Were. Because of this a bigger bungalow could not be found. On the other hand, kamal nath was not ready to leave this bungalow at any cost. For the sake of this bungalow, he got his wife to resign from the membership of parliament and himself became a candidate in the by-election in Chhindwara.
By then he had also been acquitted of the taint of the Hawala scandal. Everyone felt that kamal nath was going to become a member of the lok sabha for the fifth time. kamal nath filed his nomination with much fanfare and claimed that victory in the elections was certain. Meanwhile, before the nomination, bharatiya janata party made a big move and turned the tables by fielding its biggest leader and former chief minister of madhya pradesh Sunderlal Patwa from Chhindwara against Kamal Nath.
