Many sitting MLAs in MP may not be renominated: BJP
Bhopal, June 22: Madhya Pradesh's ruling BJP is unlikely to re-nominate several sitting MLAs in the upcoming assembly elections, state party chief Rakesh Singh said on Friday.
"Winning the elections is the BJP's objective and hence only candidates who have a strong chance of winning will be fielded," he told media at the party office.
"This is not the first time that this is happening... But it cannot be said exactly how many tickets would be cut," said Singh.
In the run-up to the elections, there are regular meetings at the party office here with leaders analysing the records of sitting legislators.
The party is also holding talks with representatives of all sections of society in a bid to win their support.

Another leopard captured in Belthangadi, second in one month
Belthangadi: A leopard was captured in a cage set up by the forest department near the house of Gurikanda Ananda Shetty in Savanalu village late Friday night, September 20. This marks the second leopard capture in the village within a month.
The area has seen frequent leopard sightings over the past few months, leading to concerns among the residents. After a leopard was caught on September 1, the forest department had safely relocated it. However, another leopard reappeared in the village shortly afterward, preying on a domestic chicken, which led the residents to again request the forest department's intervention.
Responding to the request, forest officials reinstalled the cage last week, and the leopard was trapped around midnight. Villagers, now relieved, informed the forest department, which sent officials to examine the captured animal.
This is the second successful capture by the forest department in Savanalu within the past month.
