K.P. Yadav’s Political Activity Gains Momentum in Guna After High-Profile Meetings in Delhi

Former Member of Parliament Dr. K.P. Yadav, who once delivered a stunning electoral defeat to Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Guna, has once again become politically active after his ticket was denied in the 2024 general elections.
