ADVERTISING HIS OWN CAUSE

On October 31, Madhya Pradesh residents woke up to a full-page ad in local dailies by ex-minister and Vijayraghavgarh BJP MLA Sanjay

Pathak. The occasion being his birthday, the ad showcased Pathak’s philanthropic work in his constituency and the electorate’s regard for his family. The mining tycoon had joined the BJP from the Congress in 2014 and rewarded with a ministerial berth. But when the party resumed power in 2020, he wasn’t in the cabinet. With a reshuffle likely before the assembly polls in 2023, is Pathak throwing hints?
