As the date of madhya pradesh assembly elections is coming closer, the stir on the political chessboard is
increasing. On one hand, congress is busy in selecting the names of candidates, while on the other hand,
BJP has so far announced the names of candidates on 78 seats. Both the major parties of the state are
claiming their respective victories. Amidst political turmoil, let's discuss Gandhwani assembly seat of
Madhya Pradesh. Gandhwani assembly seat falls in Dhar district of the state. Presently Umangh Singhar is
the mla from this seat and is a cabinet minister in the state government.
Gandhwani seat is considered important in the politics of Dhar district. After delimitation in the year 2008,
this seat came into existence. Umang Singhar, nephew of former deputy chief minister of Madhya Pradesh
Jamuna Devi, is the mla from here. Since its coming into existence, bjp is still waiting for its first victory
here. In the 2018 assembly elections, Umang Singhar defeated bjp candidate Sardar Meda by 38 thousand
831 votes, he got 58 percent of the total votes. Umang Singhar is counted among the leaders close to Union
Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Umang Singhar is the mla here for three times.
Gandhwani assembly constituency is known as the stronghold of Congress. Since the formation of this seat,
Umang Singhar has been continuously winning from here as a congress candidate. However, this time the
situation has changed, he has left congress and joined BJP. Umang Singhar is recognized as a tribal leader,
which is why he has been winning elections from here on the basis of Bhil tribal voters. In the year 2008,
Umang Singhar and bjp mp Chhatar Singh darbar were face to face. In this first election, he defeated the
BJP mp and established congress here.
