But when I came to Chhindwara for the first time and started campaigning, I told Nath Sahab one evening that immaterial of whether we win the elections or not, we will work for this region,” she recalled.The former MP making an emotional pitch said that Nakul contesting from Chhindwara is like history repeating itself.
