Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections 2018

Despite its declining usage, with a notable drop from 1.41 per cent in 2018 to 0.97 per cent in recent polls, the presence of NOTA continues to impact election dynamics subtly yet significantly.

The BJP swept the elections in Madhya Pradesh despite ruling there since 2003 - barring a 15-month period after 2018 - and the question on everyone's lips now is who the next chief minister will be.

Despite a perceived anti-incumbency factor in Madhya Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party seems poised to return to power to the State where it ruled for 20 years, barring a short span in 2018 when chief minister Kamal Nath-led Congress party was

The BJP has swept the Madhya Pradesh Assembly election, brushing aside the challenge of a Congress party that hoped fervently to mount a comeback in a state it won in 2018 but was ousted from in 2020

The battle for Madhya Pradesh is a prestige fight for the Congress. For the BJP, which has been ruling the state since 2004 barring two years, it is a chance to prove that the Congress victory of 2018 was an aberration.

Who is Kamal Nath? The man who orchestrated the Congress' mega win in the 2018 Madhya Pradesh Assembly election but could not complete his five-year term as Chief Minister.

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and state Congress chief Kamal Nath on Wednesday said that he was not the model of 2018 but of 2023.

In Madhya Pradesh, where the per capita income of a common man is Rs 1,40,583 or roughly Rs 11,000 per month, as many as 186 (81%) of the current MLAs are crorepatis, according to the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) report.

Kamal Nath became the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister in 2018 when the grand old party broke the three-term streak of the BJP. However, Nath had to step down from his post after Jyotiraditya Scindia and 22 other crossed over to the BJP.

Up from its tally of 38 in 2003, the Congress edged past the ruling BJP in the 2018 Madhya Pradesh polls winning 114 seats in the 230-member assembly and formed the government.

The 2018 elections in Madhya Pradesh threw up a hung Assembly, with the Congress emerging as the largest party with 114 seats in the 230-member House, while the BJP won on 109 seats.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has set aside and declared void the 2018 election of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Rahul Singh Lodhi as Member of Legislative Assembly from Khargapur constituency.

Atleast 15 legislators in Madhya Pradesh have been summoned by the Income Tax Department over discrepancies related to the income and assets declarations made by them in their election affidavits for the 2018 assembly polls.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is credited for steering his party to win in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, has acknowledged the contribution of his team members.

Just after taking charge as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Kamal Nath has provoked a controversy with his comments on migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar taking jobs in the state at the cost of its residents. The BJP has demanded Congress president Rahul Gandhi's apology for the comments and even the Samajwadi Party, an ally, is upset.
