India TV-CNX Exit Polls indicate a substantial BJP resurgence in Madhya Pradesh post-Assembly elections, overcoming challenges of anti-incumbency. The party’s notable gains set the stage for potential political shifts in the state.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ready to script history in Madhya Pradesh as the ruling party may win 140 to 159 seats in Madhya Pradesh, predicted India TV-CNX Exit Poll on Thursday. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is likely to retain the state amid growing ant-incumbency claims. He can become the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister for the fifth time. The Congress is predicted to get just 70 to 89 seats in the state. The India TV-CNX Exit Poll also predicted 46 per cent of the vote share for the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, while the Congress party may be reduced to just 38 per cent of the vote share.
