Preparations for assembly elections are going on at a high pace in Madhya Pradesh. This time, the Congress is facing an internal challenge ahead of the Bhopal North Assembly elections, which is considered to be the toughest seat for the BJP.

Actually, Arif Akil, who has turned 71, does not want to stand for election this time due to ill health. Now there is an internal war over his successor. Arif Akil’s son Atif Akil and brother Aamir Akil are claiming the ticket on the Bhopal North seat.

Actually, Congress leader Arif Akil has been MLA from this seat for 6 times. The BJP has been able to win the election only once in the Bhopal North Assembly, which has been in existence since 1977. In 1993, BJP candidate Ramesh Sharma had won the election. After this, Arif Akil has won elections continuously on Congress ticket since 1998.

Ticket fight between uncle and nephew

There is a fierce internal fight for the Bhopal North seat ticket between engineer Atif Akil, son of senior Congress leader and current MLA Arif Akil, and brother Aamir Akil. Aamir Aqeel remained active in the political field along with his elder brother Arif Aqeel. He now considers himself the successor to Bhopal North. Both uncle and nephew have raised their claims before many leaders, including senior Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh.

Arif declared his successor

Last month, in the program of Paigame Mohabbat rally organized by Arif Akil Fans Club on Independence Day, MLA Arif Akil raised slogans for Zindabad and declared Atif Akil as his successor. Aamir Akil got emotional after listening to his elder brother.

BJP has declared candidates for 39 seats in Madhya Pradesh. Among these, the BJP has also made former mayor Alok Sharma its candidate from the North Assembly in the capital Bhopal. Alok Sharma has started his election campaign as soon as he was announced as a candidate. This time, the Congress is facing an internal challenge ahead of the Bhopal North Assembly elections, which is considered to be the toughest seat for the BJP.
