Meanwhile let us tell you that there are 17 members in jabalpur district panchayat, who have elected BJP's Asha mukesh Gontia as the president unopposed. Earlier, this post was vacant after district panchayat President Santosh Barkade was elected as MLA. Although, earlier there was an equal contest between congress and bjp in the district panchayat, but the equations changed after Asha Gotia and ekta Thakur left congress and joined BJP. After this, it was decided that bjp would be made the district panchayat President.

Moreover it is said that for the last several days there was a tussle in bjp regarding the name of district panchayat President. district panchayat members of congress and bjp today came to a consensus and elected Asha mukesh Gontia unopposed as the district panchayat President. However, just a few days ago, there was talk of giving the chair of district panchayat President in the deal to ekta Thakur, who had joined bjp from congress, but no consensus could be reached on the name of Ekta. It is being told that Asha Gontia is considered close to mla Neeraj Lodhi. The credit for bringing him from congress to bjp goes to Neeraj Thakur.
