ABP-CVoter Opinion Poll: BJP Likely To Sweep MP Again As Congress Struggles To Regain Ground

ABP-CVoter Opinion Poll: In the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh, the BJP is projected to repeat its 2019 performance while the Congress faces a tough challenge, struggling to regain ground in the state.

In the 2019 elections, the BJP had a stellar performance in Madhya Pradesh, winning 28 out of the 29 seats, while the Congress managed to secure only one seat. The upcoming elections are particularly crucial for the Congress, as it struggles to regain ground in the state.

According to the latest opinion poll conducted by ABP News and CVoter, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to dominate the Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh, securing a significant majority of seats. The seat share projection indicates that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the BJP, is expected to win 28 out of the total 29 seats in the state, while the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc is projected to secure only one seat. Thereby, the BJP is predicted to repeat its 2019 victory in the state where it recently successfully formed another state government.

In terms of vote percentage, the I.N.D.I.A. bloc is expected to get a  43.3% share, while the NDA is likely to secure 53%, and others may log 3.7%.
