In a turn of events, the electoral battleground in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, heated up as a video surfaced allegedly showing BJP city president Ankur Shukla distributing money to voters during ongoing elections.
Shared by the Madhya Pradesh Congress on social media platform X, the footage has ignited controversy, with the opposition party labelling the BJP as corrupt and accusing them of attempting to sway the election through illicit means.
Chhindwara holds significant political importance as the stronghold of veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath, who has represented the constituency nine times since 1980. This election sees Nath's son, Nakul Nath, stepping into the fray against BJP candidate Vivek Bunty Sahu.
With the BJP eyeing all 29 seats in the LS Elections and particularly targeting Chhindwara, the stakes are high.
The video, which has gone viral, underscores the intense battle for supremacy in Chhindwara, with both parties vying for dominance in what has traditionally been Congress territory. The incident has sparked outrage among voters, with many condemning what they perceive as an assault on democracy.
