BJP veteran denied party ticket suffers heart attack

Veteran Madhya Pradesh BJP leader Umashankar Gupta, 71, who was denied a ticket in the assembly election, suffered a heart attack and was hospitalised on Monday afternoon. He is stable. Gupta – a former MP home minister, Bhopal mayor and three-time MLA from Bhopal South West – was hoping to be fielded from the same constituency. But BJP went with a fresh face, state general secretary Bhagwandas Sabnani.
