The Congress party has been facing internal conflicts due to ticket denial issues. On Saturday, party workers and supporters of Shajapur party president Yogendra Singh, drove to Kamal Nath's residence in Bhopal with hundreds of vehicles in protest of the party’s decision to deny Yogendra Singh the ticket. As they drove, they raised slogans like “Daru wala nahi chalega,” “UP wala nahi chalega,” which means, “We don’t want a liquor addict” or “UP person can’t get elected.”
The Congress had decided to field Shujalpur Ramveer Singh Sikarwar as their candidate, a decision that did not sit well with Yogendra Singh’s supporters. In the 2018 elections, Sikarwar had been beaten by BJP MLA and Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar by 5600 votes. As Yogendra Singh is the district president of Congress, his supporters grew angry and decided to take their grievances to Kamal Nath's doorstep.
In the Shujalpur assembly constituency, the Congress had traditionally been considered a stronghold. For the last three elections, BJP had only been winning by a smaller margin than from the Congress. Yogendra Singh, also known as Bunty, has considerable influence in more than 100 villages of the assembly constituency. Therefore, his supporters are hopeful that their opposition will make the Congress reconsider their decision.
