Tiwari filed his nomination papers for the July 30 assembly bypoll in the presence of Narottam Mishra and other senior party leaders on Monday.
The bypoll was necessitated after Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti lost his assembly membership following his conviction in a cheating case. Votes will be counted on August 3. The Congress has fielded Kunwar Ghanshyam Singh for the seat. "20 years ago, when the Congress government led by Digvijaya Singh was in power, dacoits used to roam this region freely. When the Bharatiya Janata Party government came to power, it transformed Datia. Not a single notorious gang remains; there isn't a single identified gang left in the area. That is what real work looks like. Congress people should talk about their work, show your work, and then ask for votes. We are presenting our achievements; you should present yours. There is no major internal conflict within the BJP; I am telling you the truth... From the 16th, I will camp right here myself. Together with all the workers, I will bow my head in respect at every single doorstep in Datia. I will visit every single village. I will ensure Ashutosh’s victory," an emotional former minister said at the rally.
