Politics over the death of a Congress worker on polling day in Chhatarpur’s Rajnagar constituency continues. Madhya Pradesh BJP president V.D. Sharma on Monday alleged that Congress MLA and candidate from the seat Vikram Singh Nati Raja “was behind the whole incident, to gain political sympathy and impact the polls”.
On Saturday, senior Congress leader and former M.P. chief minister Digvijaya Singh staged a 24-hour sit-in in front of the Khajuraho Police Station to demand the arrest of BJP candidate Arvind Pateriya, who along with his supporters is accused of running over the Congress worker, Salman Khan.
