Bhanupratappur, an assembly constituency reserved for the scheduled tribes in Chhattisgarh, will go for by-elections on December 5 as the seat fell vacant for the death of Congress MLA and deputy speaker Manoj Mandavi.
The nominations for the upcoming by-poll for the Bhanupratappur seat of Kanker district have started, and the last date for the nominations is November 17.
Baghel also paid tribute to Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of the country, on his birth anniversary at his residence office on Monday and said that Nehru laid the foundation of India’s development.
“Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru had a major contribution to establishing the values of democracy, the model of development he prepared for the country, the field of education health. His contribution during the freedom struggle as a builder of modern India can’t be forgotten,” Baghel said while talking to reporters.
He added that his government is following the footsteps of Pt Nehru, and has taken many important decisions for the benefit of the people of Chhattisgarh.
