Prime Minister is all set to launch an election campaign in Madhya Pradesh from Sunday, April 7, with a roadshow in the Jabalpur constituency, a party leader informed.
"The PM will lead a roadshow in Jabalpur on April 7 evening," BJP's city unit president Prabhat Sahu stated.
Two days later (on Tuesday), the prime minister will address a public meeting in Balaghat, said Ram Kishore Kavre, chief of the party's Balaghat district unit.
Balaghat, Jabalpur, and Chhindwara parliamentary constituencies, located in the Mahakoshal region (south-east) of the state, will go to the polls in the first phase on April 19. This region comprises a large number of tribal voters.
Balaghat is expected to see a triangular fight with BJP candidate Bharti Pardi, Congress's Samrat Saraswat, and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) nominee Kankar Munjare being in the fray, while in Jabalpur, BJP's Ashish Dubey and Congress's Dinesh Yadav are the main contenders.
In 2019, the BJP won 28 out of the total 29 constituencies in Madhya Pradesh, except the Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat, which was retained by the Congress. This constituency, which is the home turf of Congress stalwart and former chief minister Kamal Nath, is currently represented by his son Nakul Nath.
