Bjp In Madhya Pradesh By-election

The BJP has already fielded 50 per cent women candidates in the upcoming by-elections to four seats in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's announcement for Congress tickets in UP.

Two weeks after a man was burnt to death and the woman he loved taken to hospital with 60 per cent burns, the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh has found itself trying not to get singed by the flames of caste politics ahead of by-elections due later

The BJP was looking set to sweep the recently held assembly bypolls with leads and wins in more than 40 of 58 seats across 11 states, including Madhya Pradesh where it was ahead in 19 of 28 constituencies, according to Election Commission trends.

The BJP today won big in bypolls across a dozen states, making crucial gains in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and scooping up key seats in states like Telangana and Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a series of tweets, thanked the people for choosing his party. Powered by Congress alum Jyotiraditya Scindia, the BJP won enough seats and m...

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Saturday alleged that incidents of firing and booth capturing took place in assembly by-elections in the state.

The Election Commission today said the "chunnu-munnu" remarks made by BJP's Kailash Vijayvargiya against Congress's Digvijaya Singh and Kamal Nath were in violation of the poll code provisions and advised the senior BJP leader not to use "any such word" in his public utterances during the model code period.

Way before Mayawati announced all but outright support to the BJP on Thursday, her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has been gearing up to play a remarkably chunky role in the high-stakes by-election in Madhya Pradesh, where it has had little success in recent polls.

Few by-elections have stakes as high as the one that Madhya Pradesh will hold next week. Twenty-eight seats will be up for contest after former Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia defected to the BJP with 22 MLAs and this "betrayal" is now the crux of the election narrative for the Congress.

With an eye on the upcoming by-elections to 27 assembly constituencies in Madhya Pradesh, especially in the Gwalior-Chambal region of the state that accounts for 16 of these seats, the ruling BJP has launched a three-day membership drive in Gwalior today.

Six days before the by-election to the Jhabua assembly constituency in Madhya Pradesh, Narayan Tripathi - one of the two BJP MLAs who voted along with ruling Congress and allies on an amendment bill on July 24 - announced that he was still part of the saffron party.

If BJP wants to rejoice in the margin of its defeat in the Madhya Pradesh by-elections, it can jolly well do that but only at its own peril.

The Congress on Wednesday won crucial by-elections in two assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh, seen as a semi-final before assembly elections later this year. The Congress held both seats - Mungaoli and Kolaras - which were vacated by the death of its sitting legislators. The ruling BJP had gone flat out to try and wrest the seats away from the opposi...

Mungaoli and Kolaras have seen high-voltage campaigns from the ruling BJP and the Congress that's keen on retaining the two seats. Mahendra Singh Yadav and Brijendra Singh Yadav are the Congress candidates from Kolaras and Mungaoli respectively, while Baisahab Yadav Dev...
