Charge of the old brigade: BJP bends age, parivar bar for tough MP contest
Saturday, 21 October 2023
BJP on Saturday announced its fifth list of 92 candidates for the Madhya Pradesh assembly election, bending some rules on age and ‘parivaar’ it had set for itself. The party that once removed elderly ministers Babulal Gaur, Sartaj Singh and even denied a Lok Sabha election ticket to Speaker Sumitra Mahajan because of the age factor, has chosen to be flexible as it faces its toughest assembly poll in two decades. Children of ministers and MLAs have been fielded too.
