Amit Shah To Release Madhya Pradesh Govt ‘Report Card’ On Sunday, Chair BJP's Working Committee Meet

Around 1,200 office-bearers are expected to take part in the BJP’s working committee meeting in Gwalior.

New Delhi: Months before the assembly elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will release the "report card" of the Madhya Pradesh government on Sunday (August 20). During his visit, he will also address the BJP’s working committee meeting in Gwalior, the pocket borough of Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, PTI reported citing a party functionary said on Thursday.

“Shahji will come here (Bhopal) in the morning and release the report card of the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government on August 20. Thereafter he will leave for Gwalior where he will chair and address the working committee meeting,” the state BJP leader was quoted as saying by PTI.

As per the agency, party MLAs, MPs, district presidents, and general secretaries have been instructed to reach Gwalior for the meeting where the party is expected to come out with its final plan for the polls. Around 1,200 office-bearers are expected to take part in the key meeting.

The assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh will likely be held in a few months.

“We want to increase our movement in Gwalior, the erstwhile kingdom of the Scindias,” the BJP leader told PTI.

Political analysts suggest that the BJP is making concerted efforts to perform well in the Gwalior and Chambal region, especially after losing Gwalior mayoral elections to the Congress last year, after 57 years.

This will be Shah’s second visit to the state in less than a month.

Earlier on July 30, Shah visited the Indore district where he addressed booth-level workers.

In the 2018 assembly polls, the Congress won 26 of the 34 seats in the Gwalior and Chambal region. At that time, Jyotiraditya Scindia was a part of the Congress.

After Scindia switched over to the BJP along with his loyalists, the Congress could win just 7 of the 19 seats in the bypolls in Gwalior and Chambal region in November 2020.

However, after the setback in last year’s Gwalior mayoral elections, the BJP doesn’t want to take any chances, according to a political observer, reported PTI.

Notably, five states-- Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram-- are expected to go to the polls later this year, the last round of assembly contest before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
