Top leaders of the Madhya Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party are closing ranks ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Ujjain next week.
On their way to a core group meeting to assess preparations for the visit as well as to take stock of the 2023 Assembly election plans, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia surprised his supporters gathered at the Bhopal airport on Saturday by asking them to garland his Cabinet colleague Narendra Singh Tomar. The two, political heavyweights of the Gwalior Chambal region, are known to have had differences in the past.
The complex history between the two dates back to Mr. Scindia’s days in the Congress and had more recently come to the fore during the tussle for tickets for the civic body polls earlier this year. The BJP went on to lose both mayoral seats in the region.
