Known as the 'heart of India' for its geographic location on the map, the state has a long history of bipolar politics, dominated by the Congress and the BJP, Madhya Pradesh but all set to see the AAP making an entry in the upcoming state elections.
While the BJP is pinning its hopes on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal with their “MP Ke Man Mein Modi” slogan and theme song of electioneering focused on him, Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal is pulling all stops to ensure an impressive performance in the state.
Meanwhile, four-term BJP chief minister Chouhan (64) and rival Nath (76) are fighting the toughest electoral battle of their political careers.
The BJP has already completed its ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatras’ (marches to seek people’s blessings) and come up with the slogan ‘abki bar 150 par’ (victory in more than 150 seats this time), news agency PTI reported.
In the November 2018 polls, the Congress had won 114 seats, while the BJP finished second with 109.
Even though Nath proved his mettle by leading the Congress to power last time around and then becoming the Chief Minister, he could not complete his term due to a rebellion by MLAs supporting now Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
