Madhya Pradesh: Neck-and-Neck Battle
In the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, the political arena is heating up as the state gears up for Assembly Elections in 2023. According to the ABP-CVoter Opinion Poll data, a closely contested face-off between the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (Congress) is on the horizon. The survey reveals that the BJP and Congress are separated by a mere 0.1%, with the BJP slightly ahead, boasting a 44.7% vote share, while Congress stands at 44.6%.
The stakes are high as both parties vie for supremacy in the 230-seat state Assembly. The survey predicts that the Congress may secure 113 to 125 seats, making a significant impact on the state’s political landscape. Meanwhile, the BJP will likely win 104 to 116 seats, setting the stage for a thrilling electoral contest in the heartland.
In Rajasthan, another Hindi-speaking state, the political battle unfolds with the BJP taking center stage. The ABP-C Voter survey indicates that the BJP is poised for a compelling victory, with predictions suggesting a substantial win of around 127 to 137 seats out of the 200-member Assembly.
The survey highlights the BJP’s anticipated triumph in a state where the majority mark for forming a government is 101. The Congress, despite its efforts, is projected to bag between 59 to 69 seats, reflecting a 42% vote share. The 2023 Assembly Elections are crucial, setting the tone for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
