BJP candidate from Chhindwara Vivek Sahu, who is pitted against sitting MP Nakul Nath, also attacked the former CM over his helicopter use during public outreaches.”Kamal Nath does the politics of helicopter and plane to reach villages and make false promises. He never uses the road to connect with the people, who this time around, are going to teach him a lesson,” Sahu told PTI over the phone.Locals in Chhindwara said Nath has two helipads at his residence in the Shikrapur area of Chhindwara.Kamal Nath, who successfully contested from Chhindwara, had declared assets of Rs 134 crore in his election affidavit ahead of last year’s assembly elections, according to the non-profit Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), dedicated to electoral and political reforms in the country.The BJP, according to political observers, is trying to portray and build a narrative that Nath and his son are rich men, while its candidate Sahu is a commoner to turn the fight between the rich and poor in Chhindwara.The Chhindwara seat has been the bastion of Congress.The grand old party has lost elections from this seat just once after Independence.Kamal Nath had won this seat for a record nine times.
