The streets and the skyline of Chhindwara have turned saffron with flags flying atop buildings, small and big, across the town on the occasion of Ram Navami.
The BJP as well as the Congress seems to have been steeped in saffron colour.
Chhindwara is the only place in Madhya Pradesh where former chief minister Kamal Nath was found reciting the name of Ram before the consecration of Ram's idol in Ayodhya.
Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath is contesting the Lok Sabha election for the second time.
When the country went to the Lok Sabha polls in 2019, the Congress was ruling the state.
Kamal Nath was contesting a by-election from an assembly seat in Chhindwara, and Nakul Nath was in the fray for the Lok Sabha election.
The BJP fielded a local leader Nathan Shah against Nakul Nath and Vivek Sahu against Kamal Nath.
The father-son duo won both the elections. Although Nakul Nath won the Lok Sabha election, the margin was just 37,000.
