Bhopal, 14th Oct. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s election committee convened on Monday to evaluate potential candidates for the upcoming by-elections in Madhya Pradesh’s Budhni and Vijaypur assembly seats. These seats were vacated following the resignations of former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Congress MLA Ramniwas Rawat.
Chouhan currently serves as the Union Agriculture Minister, while Rawat, after leaving the Congress, joined the BJP and was appointed as the state’s forest and environment minister.
According to a senior BJP leader, the committee has endorsed Rawat for the Vijaypur seat. For the Budhni seat, the names of former MP Ramakant Bhargava, Raghunath Singh Bhati, Ravi Malviya, and Chouhan’s son, Kartikeya, have been recommended.
The list will now proceed to the party’s central election committee for final approval.
The meeting was attended by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, BJP state president VD Sharma, state organisation general secretary Hitanand Sharma, Deputy Chief Ministers Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda, and BJP parliamentary board member Satyanarayan Jatia. Senior ministers Kailash Vijayvargiya and Prahlad Patel were also present at the deliberations.
