It has frequently been held by members of one family. In June 2013, [[Mool Singh]], a cousin of [[Digvijaya Singh|Digvijay Singh]], announced that he would be stepping down from the seat at the next elections, paving the way for Digvijay's son, [[Jaivardhan Singh|Jaivardhan]], to be elected in a form of dynastic succession that is common. Mool Singh had suffered a [[stroke]] three years previously and gave poor health as the reason for his decision.<ref name="election2013">{{cite news |publisher=The Hindu |title=Another ‘son rise’ in political firmament |first=Pheroze L. |last=Vincent |date=23 June 2013 |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/another-son-rise-in-political-firmament/article4841319.ece |access-date=5 August 2013}}</ref> The constituency has previously been held by Digvijay, his brother [[Lakshman Singh (politician)|Lakshman Singh]] and by their father, [[Balbhadra Singh (politician)|Balbhadra Singh]].<ref name="election2013-1">{{cite news |publisher=Outlook |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?240313 |access-date=16 July 2013 |title=Tornapartism: Families divided by party colours talk about living under one roof |first=Debarshi |last=Dasgupta |date=27 April 2009}}</ref><ref name="election1998">{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/1998/feb/05mp.htm |title=Madhya Pradesh CM Digvijay Singh's proxy war |publisher=Rediff.com |date=5 February 1998 |access-date=20 March 2013}}</ref> It was noted in 2003 that the seat has been held by members of the family or their anointed candidates since 1977 and that the main opposition party, the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], had lost its [[election deposit]] on all but one occasion in the subsequent five elections up to that date.
