The BJP gave tickets to the 25 deputies who left Congress to join the saffron festival.
Bhopal:
The BJP on Tuesday said its long-awaited list for crucial assembly bypasses in Madhya Pradesh, featuring all loyalists of former Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, including six congressional ministers, who have resigned with him to join the saffron party in March.
No less than 28 assembly seats will be bypassed on November 3 in the state ruled by the BJP. The BJP has announced candidates for all seats linked to the waiver.
A revolt by a section of congressional deputies, most considered close to Mr Scindia, led to the overthrow of the Kamal Nath government nearly seven months ago.
The six congressional ministers, who were housed in the new cabinet of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, were fired from seats in the assembly from which they were elected in the 2018 poll.
The BJP gave tickets to the 25 deputies who left Congress to join the saffron festival.
The BJP lined up Tulsiram Silawat from Sanver (SC), Imarti Devi from Dabra (SC), Pradyumna Singh Tomar from Gwalior, Mahendra Singh Sisodia from Bamori, Govind Singh Rajput from Surkhi and Dr Prabhuram Choudhary from Sanchi Headquarters (SC), according to the list published by the central electoral committee of the BJP.
From Joura, the team lined up Subedar Singh Rajoudha, Aidal Singh Kansana from Sumavli, Raghuraj Sngh Kansana from Morena, Girraj Dandotia from Dimni, Kamlesh Jatav from Ambah (SC), OPS Bhadoria from Mehgaon, Ran Munvir Singh Jatav from Gohad ( SC), Ran Munna Lal Goyal from Gwalior-Est and Raksha Santram Sironia from Bhander (SC).
Jasmant Jatav Chitri will contest from Karera (SC), Suresh Dhakad from Pohri, Jajpal Singh Jajji from Ashoknagar (SC) Brajendra Singh Yadav from Mungaoli, Kunwar Pradyumann Singh Lodhi from Malhera, Bisahulal Singh from Anuppur (ST), Nararayan Singh Pope Manoj Untwal from Agar (SC), Manoj Choudhary from Hatpipalya, Narayan Patel from Mandhata, Sumitra Devi Kasdekar from Nepanagar (ST), Rajvardhan Singh Dattigaon from Badnawar and Hardeep Singh Dang from Suvasra, he said.
Congress has already declared its candidates for 27 seats with the exception of Biora.
The bypasses will take place on November 3 and the counting of the votes will take place on November 10.
