Congress will win more than 130 seats in MP: Former CM Digvijaya Singh

Digvijaya Singh, a seasoned Congress leader and former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, predicted that the party would win over 130 seats in the state.
Before tomorrow’s scheduled vote counting, Singh commented on Saturday while speaking with ANI in Bhopal, the state capital.

“We will be aware of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s position tomorrow. Not less than 130 seats will be won by us in Madhya Pradesh, the former chief minister declared.
The leader of the Congress party responded, “Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) does business, not politics,” when questioned about the party’s demands for additional security troops and their suspicions regarding horse trafficking.

Prior to the vote counting, Jaivardhan Singh, a Congress leader and Digvijaya Singh’s son, said ANI they would win a resounding majority in the state.
“The public has witnessed the BJP’s haughtiness over the past 18 years, and this time they will put an end to it and give Kamal Nath a five-year chance.” In the state, we’ll have a resounding majority, according to Jaivardhan Singh.

The Congress leader responds that it is a natural process when questioned about the party’s request that candidates for Congress travel to the nation’s capital if they win. He believes that the candidates running for Congress, whoever they may be, will reach Kamal Nath and congratulate him (Nath) for becoming the Chief Minister.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had earlier voiced confidence in the state’s ability to form a cabinet, predicting that the BJP would do so with a sizable majority.

“We are optimistic that the BJP, with a sizable majority, will form the state’s government. Every sphere of society showered us with love, affection, and blessings. Nieces and nephews have also not been abandoned, and Ladli Bahna has bestowed their blessings. Speaking to media on Saturday in the state capital of Bhopal, the chief minister stated, “The Bharatiya Janata Party has received support from every section of society and we are going to form the government here with an overwhelming majority.”

On November 17, Madhya Pradesh held elections for its 230 seats and 77.82 percent of voters cast ballots. On December 3, there will be a vote count.
The BJP is predicted to win most exit polls, which were made public on Thursday night. The Congress is perceived as underperforming and failing to capitalise on the ‘anti-incumbency’ movement as they had intended. Nonetheless, the Congress party appeared to have an edge in certain exit surveys.
