Originally a Congress leader, Sanjay Pathak joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s tenure as Chief Minister, following legal action against his mining business. He reportedly shared a good rapport with then-Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who appointed him as a state minister in the Madhya Pradesh government. However, in the new government, he has been sidelined. The Sahara land purchase case is well-known, and the situation is so serious that Sanjay Pathak avoids answering questions related to it, often becoming agitated and intimidating journalists who raise the issue.
Seeking Blessings at Bageshwar Dham, Support from Dhirendra Shastri
Sanjay Pathak, one of the wealthiest MLAs in Madhya Pradesh, has turned to Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham to resolve his troubles. Sources claim he has submitted a prayer request and tied a sacred thread at Bageshwar Dham. It appears he believes that becoming a minister could delay the ongoing investigation against him until at least 2028, giving him enough time to navigate the situation.
