In this episode of Elections With HT, we take you to the heart of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) stronghold in Madhya Pradesh, the Mahakaleshwar temple at Ujjain in the Marwa-Nimar region. This region has 66 assembly seats of which BJP occupies 56. In the 2013 parliamentary elections the BJP swept all the seven seats in Ujjain district.
What’s common among chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, BJP chief Amit Shah and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi? All three have visited the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain during their ongoing campaign for the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections.
