BJP Announces First List Of Candidates For Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh
The BJP announced its first lists of candidates for the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh due later this year. This is the first time that the party has announced names of candidates even before the Election Commission has announced the poll dates. It has announced 21 candidates for the 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly and 39 for the 230-member Madhya Pradesh House. The announcement comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the BJP's central election committee, the party's decision-making body for selection of candidates and preparation of poll strategies.
