Independent MLA Surendra Singh Shera has intensified lobbying to get a ticket for his wife Jaishri.

An Independent MLA from Burhanpur, Shera had visited New Delhi recently to meet Congress state chief Kamal Nath and other senior leaders. For the past several days he has been in touch with all senior leaders trying to get the Lok Sabha ticket for his wife.
Shera reached Congress state headquarters on Friday and met office bearers. Talking to media persons, Shera said that the name of his wife should appear in any survey conducted by any agency. “I have met and urged Kamal Nath to consider the name of my wife Jaishri and I am very confident that she will emerge winner in the survey,” said Shera.
Shera also admitted that he had visited Delhi and was in touch with Congress leaders. “I have no qualm in admitting facts. Jaishri is popular in the area and she is the winning candidate,” he added.
