Speaking on the lines of contesting the election, Saroj Pandey told media “She has always stood by what her party has decided and there would be no exception in future either”. The main reason behind Saroj Pandey’s selection is that BJP is looking for a strong leader in Durg after the death of senior leader Hemchand Yadav. Abhishek Singh is expected to contest from Kawardha constituency.
As per the sources, the move to field Member of Parliaments in upcoming assembly election is another step to solidify the mission 65 plus in Chhattisgarh.
