Lok Sabha Polls 2019: Priyanka Chopra, Rekha cast their votes early as stars urge Mumbai to come and vote

Comparisons are inevitable perhaps but also unfair, says Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath who makes his political debut as the Congress's Lok Sabha candidate from a seat that has long been identified with his father.

The MBA graduate from Boston and Doon School alumnus said he wants to take forward the Chhindwara model of development established by his father, a nine-time MP from the constituency, and asked for some time to prove himself.

His aim will be to push for the maximum number of jobs for the youth if he wins.

The 44-year-old son of the Congress stalwart said it will be unfair to make comparisons between him and his father who has been in electoral politics for 40 years.

"I have less experience than my father. This is the fifth election that I am campaigning in, the last being the 2018 assembly elections in the state. Give me sometime and I will prove myself," Nakul Nath said.

In his view, unemployment is the "biggest problem" in the area.

"My aim is to bring industries so youth and talented manpower does not leave the region. I want that the people of the area get jobs here itself," he said.

Nakul Nath is pitted against BJP's tribal leader and former MLA Nathan Shah Kavreti. Kavreti started his career with the RSS and is a well-known face in the area. He won the Assembly election in 2013 from Junnardeo in Chhindwara. Though he was not given a ticket in 2018 Assembly election, the BJP decided to try out the Scheduled Cast leader against Nakul Nath.

The Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency with seven assembly seats will vote on April 29, the first of the four-phase polls in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Kamal Nath is also contesting bypoll in the Chhindwara assembly constituency as per the legal requirement of being a member of legislative assembly (MLA) for running the state government. To facilitate his entry into the MP Assembly, Chhindwara MLA Dipak Saxena had resigned from the seat.

The seat has been a Congress bastion since 1957. The only time the party lost it to the BJP was in the 1997 by-election when BJP candidate and former state chief minister Sunder Lal Patna won.

In the 2014 general elections, the BJP had won 26 and the Congress secured three of the state's 29 seats. Kamal Nath defeated BJP's Chandrabhan Kuber Singh by a margin of 116,537 votes from Chhindwara. The Lok Sabha seat has over 15,12,000 voters.
