Bhopal, April 12 (IANS) The Congress leadership is allegedly disappointed with its candidate for Dhar Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh, and is likely to field a new face.
Congress has fielded Radheshyam Muvel from Dhar, one of the five Lok Sabha seats reserved for Schedule Tribes (ST) in Madhya Pradesh.

“Radheshyam Muvel was racing for the ticket but he is not active anymore on the ground. Local party workers have appealed to the party’s Central leadership to replace him with a new face,” a spokesperson told IANS.
According to sources, Congress is likely to replace Muvel with Mahendra Kannauj, who is a part of the Jay Adivasi Yuva Sangthan (JAYS) from Dhar.
The election in Dhar is scheduled in the fourth phase on May 13, along with six other constituencies of MP’s Malwa-Nimar region, namely, Dewas, Ujjain, Mandsaur, Ratlam, Indore, Khargone and Khandwa.
