Shahdol Lok Sabha By Election News 2016
On the first day of his three-day tour to the tribal belt of Madhya Pradesh, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced a slew of schemes in Anuppur and Shahdol, giving a clue that an election is round the bend.
During the tour, Chouhan felt that the roads were pitted, had developed potholes and tribals are yet to get benefit of BPL schemes.
``Today I travelled from Anuppur to village Damhedi and found that why people had suggested me to go by road. It seems that basic works have not been completed here'', Shivraj admitted before a gathering during his rally in the village, in Anuppur district.

For chief minister Chouhan, Shahdol Parliamentary constituency is not just any other by-elections after the party's humiliating defeat in Jhabua-Ratlam tribal seat in 2015, where Congress leader Kantilal Bhuria won by a whooping margin of more than 80,000 votes.
A day before leaving for Shahdol, Chouhan in a special meeting with his cabinet colleagues had emphasised that ministers will tour every block and district of Shahdol constituency in order to ensure implementation of government schemes. For this, one minister each has been assigned work in the districts under the constituency.
The bypoll, whose schedule is yet to be announced by the Election Commission, has been necessitated due to demise of BJP MP Dalpat Singh Paraste in June this year.
