Ahead of Marwahi Bypoll, Ex-CM Ajit Jogi’s Daughter-in-law Richa Served Notice Over Caste Certificate
News 18Ahead of the Marwahi Assembly By-election scheduled for November this year, Ajit Jogi’s daughter-in-law Richa has been issued a show cause notice by the district caste certificate investigation committee over her caste credentials. Netam, who had challenged the caste certificates of late Ajit Jogi and his son in the past, recently complained to Mungeli collector challenging Richa’s caste certificate issued by the tehsil office, Jarhagaon Rajasv Mandal, in July over various anomalies. Fearing legal obstacles in the way of his candidature over his caste credentials, Janta Congress Chhattisgarh chief Amit Jogi was reportedly planning to field his wife Richa from Marwahi seat in the upcoming by-poll. Former Chief Minister Ajit Jogi had represented the Marwahi seat for 20 years and the Jogi family was desperate to keep the seat in by-poll to ensure that the family’s political legacy remained intact.
