"This was a very emotional moment for me. I have been a member of the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh Legislative Assemblies for the past 35 years.

I will work for Raipur Lok Sabha and Chhattisgarh with new energy. Just like Mohan was for my people, he will remain their Mohan in future too," Agarwal wrote in a post on X.
