Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath, the sitting MLA from Chhindwara, is pitted against BJP candidate Vivek Bunty Sahu in the November 17 assembly polls.
Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath, whose tenure as chief minister ended abruptly in March 2020, is making a renewed attempt to bring his party to power in the state, but is facing a tough challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for his own election from home turf of Chhindwara.
The 76-year-old Congress veteran, the sitting MLA from Chhindwara who projects himself as an ardent 'Hanuman bhakt', is pitted against BJP candidate Vivek Bunty Sahu, a 'Shiv bhakt', in the November 17 assembly polls.
Both of them also locked horns in the 2018 assembly polls when Mr Nath trounced Mr Sahu (44) by a margin of 25,837 votes.
