In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP was expecting an easy win looking back to the state’s previous history, while Congress expected a reversal. The sitting Chief Minister, Mr Chouhan, is there in the office since 2005, except a two-year break in 2018 to 2020. He is the longest-serving CM of Madhya Pradesh (4 times) and also the national Vice-President of BJP – a steadfast labourer of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Mr Chouhan won the seat with a margin of 10,4974 votes. The BJP leader secured 1,64,951 votes while trailing Indian National Congress (INC) candidate Vikram Mastal secured 59,977 votes. The counting for the state is still underway, but the ruling BJP was exceptional and maintained 100 seat margin with their rival Congress.
