BJP Names Ashutosh Tiwari Candidate for Datia By-Election Despite Dr. Narottam Mishra's Claims

Datia has always been a seat of power and VVIP seat in the politics of Madhya Pradesh. For the upcoming by-election to this seat, the Bharatiya Janata Party has taken a decision that was not expected even by the political pundits. Defying the claims of former Home Minister Dr. Narottam Mishra, who was active and campaigning in the area, the party has declared former Divisional Organization Minister and former Chairman of the Madhya Pradesh Housing Board Ashutosh Tiwari as its candidate. Ashutosh Tiwari is originally from Datia and is considered a very old worker of the BJP. There is a discussion in the political circles that the BJP has taken this shocking decision very thoughtfully and on the basis of ground feedback. The party high command did not forget the wounds of the crushing defeat in the 2023 assembly election. According to sources, a special central survey team was constantly in the Datia assembly constituency and the pulse of the public.
