Political weather has turned hot after Prime Minister Narendra Modis road-show in Bhopal Lok Sabha seat. While BJP candidate and former mayor Alok Sharma is moving ahead with the gathering of the organization and Modis guarantee, Congress candidate Arun Srivastava has taken up the issue of corruption of the Dumbbell Engine government and the problem of water and electricity in rural areas with street plays. The voters are silent but Bhopal Lok Sabha seat, which has become a stronghold of BJP, is going to elect a new face as MP this time. This time both BJP and Congress have fielded new faces as candidates. Congress leaders are saying that after 1989, an attempt has been made to solve the caste equation by fielding Kayastha candidates. There is a sizable number of people of Kayastha class in Bhopal. If Congress gets the support of Kayastha class along with the original voters, it can challenge BJP. At present the atmosphere regarding elections is not visible at the intersections. From Ganesh Temple of Sehore to Bhopal, people discuss Lok Sabha elections, but the mention of Bhopal Lok Sabha is only a formality. One special thing is that Alok Sharma has been active in city politics for the last 30 years while Arun Srivastava has also been active in rural areas for the same number of years. The biggest challenge in urban areas is the identity crisis of the candidates. Arun was never active in the political activities of the city and if we talk about rural areas, his mother Vimala Srivastava was the ZIP President during the tenure of Digvijay Singh. As a long time passes, the effect of the work done by them is no longer visible. Focus on increasing voting. Voting in this seat is low in urban areas. The scorching heat of May and the atmosphere of victory among the workers can reduce it further. The second challenge is that in the last 5 years, the party has had no achievements to tell the voters in Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency. For the first time since 1989, Congress has fielded a Kayastha candidate. He is also trying to connect the societies on the basis of his native village near Banaras in Uttar Pradesh and his in-laws house in Vindhya. On the other hand, Alok Sharma is directly associated with the social, religious and business organizations of the city. , Both the candidates have completed one round of the entire Lok Sabha constituency. By organizing a road show of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP is looking ahead of Congress. Alok is making promises like four lane road from Karond to Berasia, connecting Berasia with rail network, building a religious corridor of Sehore, Berasia, Bhopal and Bhojpur. While Arun is counting the shortcomings of BJP rule. It is noteworthy that out of the eight Lok Sabha seats spread over two districts, BJP has 6 seats.
