In a surprising turn of events, Chhindwara Mayor Vikram Ahake, who recently joined Madhya Pradesh’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party , made a dramatic shift by endorsing Congress candidate Nakul Nath, the son of former Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
On the morning of polling day for the Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency, Ahake took to social media to express his discomfort within the BJP and urged voters to back Nakul Nath. He cited feeling “suffocated” and acknowledged Kamal Nath’s significant contributions to Chhindwara’s development.
Despite joining the BJP in Bhopal on April 1, Ahake’s allegiance swiftly turned towards the Nath family, emphasizing their support and assistance in his political journey. His defection from the Congress to the BJP, along with other party members, underscores the political volatility in Madhya Pradesh.
While Ahake’s stance signals a significant rift within the BJP, it remains unclear if he will formally rejoin the Congress. His endorsement of Nakul Nath adds intrigue to the closely contested election in Chhindwara, where the Bharatiya Janta Party is aggressively campaigning to secure victory.
The emotional ties of the Nath family to Chhindwara have been a focal point of the campaign, given its status as the only constituency won by Congress in Madhya Pradesh during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. With prominent BJP leaders actively involved in the campaign, the electoral battle reflects the broader political dynamics in the state.
