Parties roll up their sleeves for Malwa, Gwalior, Bhopal division

The second phase of the Lok Sabha election was over on Friday. Now, the political parties are busy campaigning for the third phase and the fourth phase of the general election.

In the first two phases, the elections were held in Mahakaushal, Vindhya, Sagar and in the entire Bundelkhand region.

In the third phase, Gwalior, Chambal and Bhopal division will go to polls. The political parties will focus on Malwa and Nimar regions in the third phase.

As filing of nominations for the fourth phase has started, the political parties have also swung into electioneering.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently held a meeting in Morena. Union Home Minister Amit Shah held public meetings in Guna and Rajgarh parliamentary seats.

The Congress is planning to organise a road show of Priyanka Gandhi in these constituencies.

The BJP performed better than the Congress in these areas in the assembly election.

In the Lok Sabha elections of 2014 and 2019, the BJP won all the seats in these places. Making a dent in the BJP’s fortress is a major challenge for the Congress.

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who won the seat for the Congress in 2014, is in the BJP.

Against this backdrop, it will be difficult for the opposition to register a win in the Malwa, Bhopal and the Gwalior-Chambal divisions.

The important leaders of the BJP and of the Congress in the state come from the Malwa region.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, MPCC president Jitu Patwari and Leader of the Opposition Umang Singhar are from this region only.

Therefore, both the parties will spare no effort to win as many seats as possible from this area.
