It’s ‘kalakar vs kalakar’ in Budhni, says Kamal Nath after Congress fields Ramayan actor against Shivraj

The Hindu  

Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath said on October 16 that the poll contest between his party’s candidate Vikram Mastal and Chief Minister and BJP candidate Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the Budhni Assembly segment would be a “kalakar vs kalakar” show. Shivraj ji will defeat our Vikram Mastal that he is a bigger kalakar,” Mr. Nath said, responding to a question from reporters in Bhopal. The Congress leader also took potshots at Mr. Chouhan’s recent “I will rise from ashes like a phoenix” remarks and said he should tell this to his own party. It was a challenge to pick the winning candidates, who also fit in the caste equations, from 4,000 applications.” Mr. Nath also said the candidates for Assembly seats in Chhindwara district would be announced by his son Nakul Nath.
