‘Congress struggling to find candidates in M.P., will be reduced to lowestever seats’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will get a third term with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) getting the biggest mandate ever in the upcoming Lok Sabha election, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said after the poll announcement by the Election Commission on Saturday.
Mr. Chouhan also said the Congress will be reduced to its lowest ever vote share and seats in the election.
“The BJP and the NDA will get a historic majority this time and Modiji will again become the Prime Minister with a record mandate,” he said.
Mr. Chouhan said the Opposition party was lacking all three “a leader, leadership and intent”.
The election for the 29 seats of the State will be held in the first four phases — April 19 and 26, May 7 and 13.
Mr. Chouhan also taunted the Congress over the delay in its candidate declaration and said that it was “not able to find leaders” to contest the polls. “Big (Congress) leaders are aware of the outcome and hence are hesitant to fight the elections,” he said.
Meanwhile, State
BJP president V. D. Sharma said party workers have already begun working on all “64,523 polling booths and will ensure the party’s victory on each booth”.
Kamal Nath’s appeal
Another former CM and Congress veteran Kamal Nath took to social media platform X to urge the party workers to take the party’s poll promises to the public. “... now there is very little time left. Whatever work the Congress has done for the country, the State and Chhindwara, it should be taken before the public and the promises should be presented to the public in clear words and with full enthusiasm.”
