Suresh Pachouri

Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti is missing from the BJP's list of star campaigners for the Lok Sabha polls in the state. However, the party has picked Suresh Pachouri, who recently switched over from Congress, for the job.

In a jolt to the Congress in Madhya Pradesh ahead of Lok Sabha elections, senior leader Suresh Pachouri, ex-MP Gajendra Singh Rajukhedi and several others, including the party's former MLAs, joined the BJP today.

Senior Congress leader Suresh Pachouri today dumped bundles of documents at the residence of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as "proof" that his party has waived off loans of 21 lakh farmers after coming to power in the state in December last year.

As many as 2,884 candidates, including Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, former Union Minister Suresh Pachouri and Industries Minister Kailash Vijaywargiya, filed their nominations on the last day today for the November 25 state Assembly elections.
