State Congress chief Kamal Nath and senior party leader Digvijaya Singh were both focused on promoting their sons and their acolytes, he alleged. <\/p>\n<p>Guddu had represented Alot in the assembly and also the Lok Sabha constituency of Ujjain-Alot earlier. Ahead of the 2018 assembly polls, he and his son Ajit Bourasi parted ways with the Congress and joined the BJP.

In November 2020, he unsuccessfully contested a by-election from Sanwer in Indore district on a Congress ticket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"followHT\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:10px\"> &#8220;Exciting news!
