Framing Analysis
The BJP selected Ashutosh Tiwari as its candidate for the Datia assembly bypoll and denied a ticket to former Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra. Supporters of Mishra blocked the Jhansi-Gwalior highway for nearly 12 hours, with reports of stone-pelting and injuries to police personnel. The bypoll was triggered by the disqualification of Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti following a cheating conviction.
