Sehore, MP, Jan 28 (UNI) Both ruling and opposition parties in Madhya Pradesh are raising voices of dissent against the Delimitation Commission's recommendations on demarcations of all four assembly constituencies in Sehore district including them in three different Lok Sabha constituencies.

Under the fresh recommendations, Sehore assembly constituency would be included in Bhopal Lok Sabha seat, Budhni and Icchawar assembly seats in Vidisha Lok Sabha seat and Ashta assembly seat in Dewas Lok Sabha seat.

Political parties believed that the demarcations would destroy the political significance of Sehore district and curtailing chances for a political leader from Sehore to become a parliamentarian.

''Though Sehore is home district of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, his assembly segment is limited to Budhni. Three assembly segments of Sehore have no relevance,'' District Congress President Kailash Parmar told UNI here.

He said including four assembly segments in three different Lok Sabha seats would end their political significance.

He pointed out that Vidisha MP Rampal Singh had never participated in the meeting of Sehore district zilla panchayat.

District BJP President Rakesh Surana said an effort was being made to keep Ashta assembly segment away from Bhopal by including it in the Vidisha Lok Sabha seat. All four assembly segments will lose relevance because of fresh recommendations.

Former MLA Shankarlal Sabu expressed dissatisfaction with the new proposal and will put forward his objections before the Delimitation Commission.

''No political leader from Sehore could dream of becoming a parliamentarian under the new delimitation proposal,'' BJP MLA Ramesh Saxena noted.

Three decades ago, state capital Bhopal was a tahsil in Sehore district. Later, Bhopal was given district status and Hujur and Bairasia were made tahsils.
