Bhopal, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will on Wednesday campaign for BJP’s candidate Ramakant Bhargava for the Budhni bypoll.
Through massive public rallies, they will seek support for Bhargava. Both leaders are scheduled to address back-to-back rallies at different locations.
Former CM Chouhan represented Budhni, his hometown, six times between 1990 and 2023. In the November 2023 Assembly polls, he secured victory with a margin of more than 1.5 lakh votes.
