Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel said on Friday that a village in the constituency of Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Kamal Nath boycotting the Assembly election is the "biggest example of rebellion" against "dynasty politics".
"There is a Shahpura village in Chhindwara district where there used to be zero votes for the BJP. Now, that village has boycotted the elections. This is a rebellion against the dynasty's politics," Prahlad Singh Patel told ANI here. Kamal Nath is contesting from the Chhindwara assembly constituency, and his son, Nakul Kamal Nath, is a Lok Sabha MP from Chhindwara, which his father previously represented. The Union Minister said that Chhindwara has decided to get rid of dynasty politics. "Chhindwara is pained with the dynasty politics and now it has decided to change... I used to say repeatedly that Kamal Nath would lose the elections. I did not know then that people would boycott the elections in that village. There can be no bigger example of rebellion than that there is not even a single vote cast in a village that comes under the constituency of the former Chief Minister," Prahlad Singh Patel said. Meanwhile, Kamal Nath said on Friday that he was positive that the grand old party would wrest the Madhya Pradesh from the BJP. Speaking to reporters before casting his vote in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly election that was held on Friday, Kamal Nath said, "I have faith in the people to make the right choice. I trust the public to side with the truth." The polling for assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh for all 230 seats concluded on Friday and the state saw a polling percentage of 76.22 per cent, according to the latest data from the Election Commission. The state has surpassed the polling percentage of the 2018 assembly polls, when it saw 74.97 per cent polling. (ANI)
