BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh, Prabhat Jha on Tuesday said he faces a threat to his life from Congress' Jyotiraditya Scindia and has sought the Election Commission's intervention.

"At a Congress meet in Rajoda village, a man, in presence of Scindia and Madhya Pradesh Congress incharge Deepak Babaria said that he will teach me a lesson. This shows that the man was having support from Scindia," Jha told reporters here, citing the complaint he has made to the poll panel.

He also said that if anything happened to him during the election, Scindia will be responsible for it.

In his letter, he also demanded that the EC should control anti-social elements in the two constituencies where bypolls are scheduled.
