Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh): BJP legislator from Shivpuri assembly constituency Devendra Jain said that he got a ticket for the assembly election because of Speaker of MP House Narendra Singh Tomar. Jain, who won the election by a margin of 43,000 votes, also said that he was given tickets five times because of Tomar. The Gwalior area is considered the family bastions of the Scindias.
Nevertheless, local politicians say Jain’s statement signifies many things. Some people say that he keeps tickets for the election in his pocket, but they barely know that it happens because of Tomar, Jain said. Jain made the statements at a function held to honour Tomar on Wednesday.
The function was held at the residence of a social worker Pratap Asupur on Chhatri road. Jain said that he and his friend Omprapash Khatik had always had the blessings of Tomar. A large number of eminent people in the city took part in the function. Before the function, Tomar visited the house of Jain and had breakfast with him and interacted with the party workers.
