CM meets woman who gave him Rs 2 to fight pollsThirty three years after he won his first assembly election from Budhni in home district Sehore, BJP’s longest serving CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday met the woman who gave Rs 2 as a lucky charm to contest his first assembly poll. While laying foundation of development works in Jahajpur area, the CM touched Jamuna Bai’s feet and hugged her, while recounting his meeting with her in 1990.

His announcement assumes significance as he is making a return to assembly polls as a candidate after ten years. The current Congress MLA from the Indore-1 seat Sanjay Shukla, hails from an old BJP family. Vijayvargiya, who won from three different seats of Indore, faces perhaps the toughest poll battle of his career, if the first-time sitting Congress MLA Sanjay Shukla is fielded from Indore-1 seat.

A NIT alumnus, Jain was an RSS pracharak between 1986 and 2007.
