Meet The Royal Scions In Chhattisgarh's Electoral Battle

Chhattisgarh polls: Congress and BJP each have given tickets to three royal scions while one such nominee has been fielded by AAP.

After staying away from electoral politics for around 15 years, the erstwhile Royal family of Ambagarh Chowki in Chhattisgarh has once again got a chance to try its luck in this month's assembly polls.

Sanjeev Shah, a scion of the erstwhile Nagvanshi Gond royal family from Ambagarh Chowki, is among at least seven members of princely families who are in the fray in the state assembly elections this time.

While the Congress and the BJP each have given tickets to three royal scions, one such nominee has been fielded by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
