Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was seen in
a jubilant mood at his residence and flashed a victory sign at CM House along
with his family, in Bhopal on Sunday.
The Bharata Janata Party (BJP) was ahead in Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh while the Congress was leading in Telangana,
according to the Election Commission as votes were counted on Sunday, December
3, 2023, for Assembly polls.
BJP
workers celebrated with firecrackers, dhol, sweets and garlands as the party
crossed the majority mark in Madhya Pradesh elections.
Sweets were exchanged between the senior party leaders. Chouhan
along with his family greeted party workers and supporters in Bhopal and later
exchanged with state BJP president VD Sharma and union minister Jyotiraditya
Scindia.
Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw was also present.
As per the latest figures available from the Election Commission, the BJP was
leading in 161 of the 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, while the Congress was ahead
in 66 seats.
The
election to the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Assembly was a fight between the BJP
and the Congress, whose then 15-month government, formed in the year 2018 was
toppled from power in 2020 with help from Jyotiraditya Scindia who defected to
BJP from the Congress.
The BJP though had fielded three central ministers Narendra
Singh Tomar, Prahlad Singh Patel, and Faggan Singh Kulaste to tackle the
perceived anti-incumbency against Chouhan.
Chouhan relied heavily on schemes for women like the 'Ladli
Behna Yojana' under which Rs 1250 is transferred monthly to eligible women from
poor families in the state.
While, Congress described it as an election sop,
implemented months before the assembly polls, the BJP leaders have said that it
is in line with the party's work for empowering women.
