It is 10.30 a.m. on Monday in Chhindwara when Congress veteran and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath steps out into the lawns of his residence, where over a hundred party workers and supporters are gathered to meet him.
The 77-year-old leader patiently meets them and listens to their issues. Many workers also bring him updates from their respective areas on preparedness for the election that is now only three days to go. After instructing them on the future course of action, Mr. Kamal Nath leaves in his helicopter for campaigning. This is followed by his son and incumbent MP Nakul Nath, and daughter-in-law Priya Nath, heading for campaigning in different areas.
The Nath family is going to face one of its toughest elections on April 19 as Mr. Nakul Nath seeks a second term from the constituency that has been represented by his father nine times and has become synonymous with him.
