Kamal Nath, the state Congress chief and former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, submitted his nomination on Thursday for the Chhindwara assembly seat in the state assembly elections that are set to take place next month.
The former chief minister announced beforehand that he had specifically chosen an auspicious time (Muhurt) to submit his nomination for the next election.
“I have selected auspicious time (Muhurt) for nomination. I remember November 1979, when I filed the nomination for the first time from Chhindwara, I did not understand then, I went among people. Here in 40 years I not only get support but also receive love and trust. Out of 2000 villages, there was electricity in only 480 villages. When I used to tour by jeep, one and a half kilos of dust used to be deposited on my body,” Nath said.
“Your (public) love is the biggest asset of my life. This election is for the future of Madhya Pradesh. In 18 years, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has pushed Madhya Pradesh into corruption, has given inflation and ruined the state,” he said.
“CM Chouhan is a great artist. He does not see unemployment, he does not listen to the voice of farmers, but he only talks a lot and he is not able to run the state,” Nath said.
Elections in Madhya Pradesh are scheduled for November 7 and the vote will be counted on December 3. The state will choose legislators from 230 Assembly constituencies through the polls.
