High-Stakes Battle in Madhya Pradesh By-Elections

The BJP has announced candidates for the Budhni and Vijaypur seats in the upcoming bypolls in Madhya Pradesh. Scheduled for November 13, the bypolls are crucial with former MP Ramakant Bhargava and ex-Congress leader Ramniwas Rawat contesting. The results will be declared on November 23.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has revealed its candidates for the Budhni and Vijaypur assembly bypolls in Madhya Pradesh, slated for November 13. The elections, set to be a significant political showdown, will see votes tallied on November 23.

Former MP Ramakant Bhargava will contest from Budhni, a seat made vacant by the resignation of former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, now the Union Agriculture Minister. Meanwhile, Ramniwas Rawat, once a Congress stalwart, will represent BJP in Vijaypur after switching parties and resigning as a Congress MLA.

With nominations for the polls open until October 25, the electoral landscape is heating up. Budhni and Vijaypur both feature a sizable voter base, setting the stage for a fiercely contested battle. Political analysts are keenly watching these races for signs of shifting allegiances in the state.
