In Madhya Pradesh, the heart of India, BJP seeks a third clean sweep as it faces Congress in a direct battle for the state’s 29 seats.
Exit polls suggest that BJP is expected to win all 29 seats, wresting away Congress’ lone seat from the Grand old party. The total voter turnout was 67.75% in phase one, 58.59% in phase two, 66.75% in phase three and 72.05% in phase four.
While BJP has contested on all 29 seats, Congress was forced to contest only on 27 seats as its nominee from Indore jumped ship to the BJP on the final date for filing nominations.
