Mandleshwar was abuzz as the BJP's Jan Aashirwad Yatra reached the assembly constituency area. This yatra was organised in view of the upcoming state elections and to promote public welfare schemes being run by the Central and State governments. As it arrived, the baton of the yatra was handed over from Narmada Bridge to the senior BJP leaders, who declared the candidature of Rajkumar Mev from Maheshwar assembly.
However, it was not all smooth sailing. The BJP workers opposing the candidature of Mev made their protest known during the Yatra. At the main gate of a colony near Mandleshwar, these workers raised slogans and showed placards to the party leaders. Despite this, the leaders remained silent, refusing to engage with the protesters.
Prior to the Yatra's arrival, Indore development authority chairman Jaipal Singh Chavda had discussed with the protesters and promised to make every effort to reach their point with the party leaders. As a result of these efforts, two banners were put up in protest at Kasrawad Gate on Saturday afternoon.
The following morning, the banners were found in tatters, with many believing that Mev's supporters were responsible for the damage. The police, taking a lesson from the Neemuch incident, attempted to control the protest by confining the workers in a circle and switching off their sound system. However, the workers still managed to register their dissent.
These events culminated with six BJP mandals coming together to discuss the Jan Ashirwad Yatra preps in Badnawar. Despite the protest, the Yatra's journey continues, with its ultimate goal of promoting public welfare schemes.
