Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Digvijay Singh and Jyotiraditya Scindia File Nominations From Bhopal and Guna Constituencies

Bhopal, April 20: Congress stalwarts Digvijay Singh and Jyotiraditya Scindia Saturday filed nomination forms from Bhopal and Guna Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh, respectively. Singh, who is facing BJP's Pragya Singh Thakur in Bhopal, filed his papers here Saturday afternoon, said Congress leader Jawahar Punjabi.

"Diggi Raja" (as Singh is fondly called) would defeat Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, and recapture the seat for the Congress after a gap of 30 years, Punjabi claimed.

Jyotiraditya Scindia's Tweet

लोकसभा चुनाव के लिए आज नामांकन जमा किया।

ये नामांकन मेरा नहीं, क्षेत्र के हर एक जन का है।

इस दौरान उमड़ा जनसैलाब, आमजन का प्यार और विश्वास मेरी अमूल्य धरोहर है।

ये अपनत्व ही वो पूंजी है जो जनसेवा के मेरे संकल्प को और मजबूती प्रदान करती है। pic.twitter.com/drtIXWESlH
