BJP workers from Seoni Malwa have demanded replacement of sitting MLA and forest minister Sartaj Singh while partymen from Minister of State for Tourism Brajendra Pratap Singh's Pavai seat staged a protest when senior BJP leaders were holding a state-level meeting at a local college last month.
Party workers from Narsinghgarh seat carrying placards like “Mohan Sharma (sitting MLA) hatao Narsinghgarh Bachao” and “Chehra Badlega to Kamal Khilega” among others were seen a few days back.
Later, Sharma's supporters also gathered in strength to counter those opposing his candidature. Taking the issue of dissidence seriously, state BJP president Narendra Singh Tomar removed two divisional units' presidents in Panna district on October 9 and appointed new faces in their place, the sources said.
Reports are also doing rounds of differences between former Union minister and Indore MP Sumitra Mahajan and state industries minister Kailash Vijaywargiya, with both not attending each other's programmes.
