NEW DELHI: Jabalpur has become the sought-after city for the ruling BJP and main opposition Congress ahead of the Madhya Pradesh assembly election which is likely to be held in November-December. Both the parties chose to launch their pre-election programmes from the city, which is called ‘Sanskaar-dhaani’ (cultural capital) of the state.
Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan selected Jabalpur to release the first instalment of Rs 1,000 per month each to 1.25 crore women of the state under the Mukhya Mantri Ladli Beha scheme on June 10 with much fanfare.
