Ramniwas Rawat’s Defeat To Dampen Nirmala Sapre’s Enthusiasm

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Forest Minister Ramniwas Rawat’s defeat has not only shocked the party-hoppers but also dampened the enthusiasm of legislator from Bina, Nirmala Sapre. After defecting from the Congress to the BJP, Sapre did not resign from the House membership.
