As speculated, sitting MLA and State Mining Development Corporation Chairperson Pradeep Jaiswal was inducted into BJP at Chief Minister residence at Bhopal. Pradeep Jaiswal has joined BJP and presence of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and State BJP President V D Sharma. It may be mentioned that MLA Pradeep Jaiswal is representing Waraseoni-Khairlanji assembly area as independent candidate. His entry into the BJP was being strongly opposed by the BJP leaders and party workers from Waraseoni area but senior leadership of party did not give weightage to this annoyance of local party leadership and inducted Pradeep Jaiswal into BJP. On the occasion Pradeep Jaiswal was accompanied by his wife Smita Jaiswal, son Prabal Jaiswal, Waraseoni Municipality Council President Sarita Manoj Dandre, corporator Sandeep Mishra, ex corporator Vicky Manoj Dandre, Mohd Dawood Mansoori.

 

MLA Jaiswal has submitted list of his supporters who would be joining BJP. Now it is very much clear that BJP would field Pradeep Jaiswal as it authorised candidate from Waraseoni area. As a matter of fact from last three months the entry of Pradeep Jaiswal in BJP was being delayed as local BJP leadership and party workers were adamant that he should not be taken into BJP fold . Earlier Pradeep Jaiswal was adamant that he would take membership of BJP in Waraseoni in presence of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan but it could not be materialised somehow.

 

But when election schedule was announced then arrived at Bhopal and took membership of BJP. However till last moment suspense was prevailing on his entry into BJP as programme was being changed many times. Finally at around 10.45 pm on Sunday MLA Jaiswal joined BJP. Cabinet Minister Gauri Shankar Bisen adorned him with stoll of BJP. Waraseoni Municipality President Sarita Manoj Dandre, Sandeep Mishra also joined BJP on the occasion. Now all eyes are set on the BJP leaders and party workers who were openly opposing the induction of Pradeep Jaiswal into BJP. Now locals are eagerly awaiting for their reaction and action after this new development.
