ANI, one of his supporter said, “We have come here to request Scindia that the candidate of Gwalior East be changed and Munnalal Goyal be made the candidate. No one else can win that seat. Somebody who is unable to even walk has been made the candidate there.

We are serving the seat to Congress on a platter. So, we are pained. That is why, we have come here to make the request.

We have nothing against the party or the current candidate but we want the party to win the seat..." In the 2018 polls, Munnalal Goyal who was then part of the Congress party had won from Gwalior east. He and many MLAs loyal to Scindia resigned and crossed over to the BJP in March 2020, bringing down the Kamal Nath-led Congress government. However, in 2020 bypoll election, Goyal lost as a BJP candidate from Gwalio East against Congress Dr Satish Sikarwar.

Expressing his disappointment over denial of ticket, Goyal said that instead of him, the ticket has been given to a candidate who has not been in the midst of the people for many years. “I am going to talk to the party leadership about it," Goyal said, adding that he has tirelessly worked for the people for the last five years, as reported by PTI. Scindia who tried to cool down his temper said he understood the strength of party workers, adding that 15-20 years ago, the tickets of many heavyweight leaders were cut.

“I assure you that I stand with you and with Munna (Goyal) and will sort out all your problems," Scindia said. After his assurance, the protesters seemed placated. Apart from Goyal, four others from the 22 list of members who left Congress and joined the BJP alongside Scindia have not been provided tickets, a report by TOI stated.
