Patwari was the former minister for higher education, sports and youth affairs in the Kamal Nath-led government. He comes from the Malwa Nimar region, the same region from where CM Mohan Yadav and, which is also known as the bellwether area with 66 seats. He is also seen as a young leader of the OBC community, and is close to the farmers.
