PM Modi is scheduled to visit Sagar on 12 August and participate in various programs. He will perform the groundbreaking ceremony (bhoomi pujan) of the Sawai Bhoj Shri Ravidas Memorial site in the afternoon.

The Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh are scheduled to be held later this year. The ruling BJP is optimistic about retaining power, while the Opposition Congress has expressed confidence in overthrowing the current ruling dispensation.
