BJP and Congress have turned active for the third phase of voting in Madhya Pradesh. At this stage, the voting will take place on 9 seats. Apart from the local workers, BJP has directed the local leaders to remain alert till the polling eve. While futures were on the stand, loads of Panna and Ardh Panna were also activated. This entire exercise will be monitored by the state BJP office. Here, the Congress has also prepared a strategy for the constituencies. Congress workers go out in groups to campaign. They deliver the party’s guarantee cards to every house. He seems to be connecting with traditional voters.
The third phase of voting for the Lok Sabha elections will take place on May 7. Under this, voting will be held in Bhind, Morena, Gwalior, Guna, Rajgarh, Bhopal, Sagar, Vidisha and Betul Lok Sabha seats of Madhya Pradesh. After a low voter turnout in the last two phases, this time BJP’s emphasis is on increasing voter turnout. The party also places more emphasis on these three seats. A place where competition is believed to be conflict. Rajar, Morena and Bhind are three such, where both BJP and Congress seem to be more focused.
Rodmal Nagar is contesting for the third time from the BJP from Rajar seat. Whereas the Congress has made former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh its candidate from this seat. Former CM Digvijay Singh is contesting the elections in a quiet state. Congress focused more on the field. Singh seems to be contesting the elections on the BJP pattern. Singh focused on the pulpit level. A meeting of Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot was held to solve the local caste equations. His wife Amrita Singh and daughter-in-law Shrimiya Singh are also in the fray to woo women voters. Whereas BJP’s emphasis is on meetings of big leaders. BJP is fielding Modi’s face instead of the local candidate. CM Mohan Yadav and former CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan attended more than 10 meetings.
Competition is also close in Morena
There is also tough competition in Morena. A caste factor is working on this seat. Due to his closeness to former MP Narendra Tomar, BJP made Shiv Mangal Tomar its candidate. Shiv Mangal does not have its own identity in the region. Congress candidate Satyapal Sikarwar has a good hold in Jaura, Sabalgarh, Somali, Amba and Shaopur assembly. BJP lost five Lok Sabha seats this assembly election. BJP included Congress leaders in its fold to fix the equation in the Lok Sabha elections.
A close contest is also seen for the Bhind seat. This Lok Sabha seat has the highest number of 30 percent Dalit voters. BJP has fielded sitting MP Sandhya Rai as its candidate for this reserved seat. Rai is a resident of Morena. Against him openly against him. Congress gave ticket to Bhander MLA Phool Singh Baraiya, but BSP’s Devashish spoils his equation. Both BJP and Congress have equal 4-4 seats in the assembly.
State political expert and senior journalist Rishi Pandey, in a discussion with Amar Ojla, says that the four Lok Sabha seats of Gwalior-Chambal region, Gwalior, Guna, Bhind and Morena, were recently held by BJP. This time, if Guna is left out of only one mandate, then the competition for the remaining three does not seem easy. This time the Congress seems to be giving a tough fight for some seats as compared to last time. The contest became interesting in Rajar with the entry of former CM Digvijay Singh. They play the emotional card. They are seen soliciting votes from local residents by calling it the last election. Home Minister Amit Shah also tried to change the atmosphere by campaigning on this seat. Because there is anti-incumbency against the BJP candidate Rodmal Nagar. Whereas in Gwalior, Morena and Hind, the battle became triangular due to the entry of BSP into the election fray. The candidates contesting these three seats are the Congress rebels. This could result in a loss to the Congress.
BJP-Congress made these preparations
BJP leaders in the state say the seats being contested are tough. To increase voter turnout, BJP has asked booth commanders as well as Panna and Ardh Panna managers to remain active till polling ends. The party also asked the department heads, including local MKs, former MKs, former MPs, former councilors and current councilors to remain vigilant until the day of voting and contact each and every house. Everyone was also asked to make efforts to get every voter to vote on polling day. Here the Congress also completed preparations. Congress leaders say that before voting, all the candidates will be seen walking and seeking votes from the public. The party prepared a separate program for Rajar, Morena and Bhind. The teams of the three candidates will be active in different rural areas. This team is campaigning from village to village.
