Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted BJP will get full majority
The BJP's Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said the party will retain power in the state with a full majority, minutes after early leads showed the BJP has crossed the halfway mark in the assembly election.
Early leads show the BJP has won 124 seats in the 230-seat assembly. The Congress trails with 100 seats, early leads show.
"... I am confident that with the blessings of the people and the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP will form government again with a full majority," Mr Chouhan said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
BJP leader and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said he is confident people's faith will be with the BJP. "We will wait till the complete results are in. We will form government with complete majority. The people's faith in PM and the welfare schemes are the reasons for such a mandate."
