Protests were reported in the CM’s home district, Sehore, and Jabalpur and Gwalior.Talking to reporters, some BJP leaders expressed solidarity with the bandh. Later, the party was merged with BJP but Tiwari was denied a ticket by BJP. Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia also faced protests, with SAPAKS saying all MPs are responsible for passing the amendment.
