In Chhattisgarh, BJP New Comer 'Avenges' Son's Lynching, Defeats Seven-Time Congress MLA: Report

In a dramatic twist during the Chhattisgarh assembly elections, the Bemetara constituency witnessed a remarkable setback for the Congress party as its veteran leader Ravindra Choubey lost against new commer Ishwar Sahu fielded by Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).

This triumph also holds profound significance for Ishwar Sahu, as he was handpicked by the BJP to contest the elections in response to allegations of Congress-backed individuals involved in the lynching of his son according to a report from Patrika.

Ishwar Sahu emerged victorious by defeating Congress stalwart and seven-term winner Ravindra Choubey with a substantial margin of 5527 votes.
