Madhya Pradesh elections and Congress-BJP clash
Let us tell you that elections are going to be held on 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh. The sound of assembly elections has already started. Voting is to be held on 17th November. Whereas the results of the elections will come on 3rd December. It is believed that there is a face-to-face contest between Congress and BJP in Madhya Pradesh. Actually, the Congress government was formed after the last elections but due to a major split in the party, the government fell in the state. In the 2018 elections, the mandate remained with Congress and Kamal Nath became the CM. In March 2020, 22 Congress MLAs resigned from the Assembly and the party’s big face Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the BJP. CM Kamal Nath had to resign and BJP formed the government in the state. Shivraj Singh Chauhan became CM again.
