Once a Congress bastion, Madhya Pradesh has turned into the BJP citadel
and is all set to vote in another election where, critics say, there has
been no visible wave — Modi or otherwise.
With no sweeping wave visible in MP polls, it’s virtually a candidate v/s candidate election where the voters are focusing on local civic issues, image and presence of candidates among them.
The ruling BJP is going to the polls riding on the work done by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Chouhan has not only helped the BJP win the 2008 and 2013 Assembly polls, but also kept the party flag flying in most of the civic and rural body polls in 13 years of his rule. Shivraj is popularly known as “mama”
On the other hand, it’s a now or never contest for the Congress in Madhya Pradesh.
The Congress is battling the perception of a house divided that comes together whenever polls are around. Seniors like Digvijay Singh, Rameshwar Neekhra and Mahesh Joshi took the mentoring roles this time, while leaders like Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia led the campaign charge.
