Jobat: Jobat town on Sunday witnessed a shocking surprise and political speculations after a whatsapp post allegedly circulated by Congress party activists, claiming Congress candidate Kalawati Bhuria as the next MLA from Jobat assembly constituency, went viral in the area.

According to information, the post was circulated in a whatsapp group managed by group admin of Congress minority front, Rafique Choudhary. Apart from Choudary, the group has three other admin members authorised for handling the group activities.

The absurd post, which went viral like wildfire, not only shocked the unaware Congress workers, but also miffed the rival BJP. Many believed that, supporters of Bhuria have been trying to create platform for the Congress leader ahead of assembly polls.

Speculations were further rife as Bhuria’s win in the next elections will not only affect the political scenario in the area, but will also disturb political equations in Jhabua and Alirajpur districts because of her influence in both the districts.

However, on being asked Bhuria claimed she was completely unaware about the development and could only comment on the issue after having a discussion with the party workers in the area.
