Madhya Pradesh Elections 2023: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday released its second list of candidates for the upcoming Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh. The ruling party in the state has so far declared candidates for 78 seats for polls to the 230-member House, including its first list of 39 names that was released in August.
Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh are likely to be held at the end of the year. The BJP has fielded Union ministers Faggan Singh Kulaste from Niwas (ST), Prahlad Singh Patel from Narsinghpur, whose brother Jalam Singh Patel is the incumbent MLA, and Narendra Singh Tomar from Dimni.
BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya will contest from Indore-1 Assembly seat. Gaurav Pardhi will contest from Katangi, Nathan Shah from Junnardev, Vivek Banti Sahu from Chhindwara, Jyoti Deharia from Parasia, Gangabai Uikey from Ghoradongri, Narendra Shivaji Patel from Udaipura, Hajarilal Dangi from Khilchipur, and Madhu Gehlot from Agar.
Arun Bhimawat will fight from Shajapur, Nanda Brahmane from Bhikangaon, Antar Singh Patel from Rajpur, Shyam Barde from Pansemal, Kalsingh Bhanwar from Thandla, Sardar Singh Medha from Gandhwani, Manoj Patel from Depalpur, Tejbahadur Singh from Nagda-Khachrod and Sangeeta Charel from Sailana, as per the BJP.
Reacting to BJP’s second list of 39 candidates, Congress chief Kamal Nath has claimed the ruling party has accepted defeat in MP and played its ‘last bet of false hope’.
The candidates’ list of the BJP, which claims to have crores of party workers, is surely a stamp on the party’s internal defeat and refutes the claims of development during the eighteen-and-a-half years of BJP government and more than 15 years of Shivraj’s (Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan) rule,” Nath said.
