Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], December 3 (ANI): Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Madhya Pradesh’s Dimani constituency, Narendra Singh Tomar, said on Sunday that the people of Madhya Pradesh have given “historic” support to the BJP.
“People have given historic support to the BJP in this election. The BJP will ensure that the next government works according to the interests of the people. BJP has its own procedures and the face of the CM will be decided after that,” Tomar said while speaking to reporters.
The BJP, in a historical win in the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls, is set to form government in the 230-member assembly state, as it crosses the majority mark by securing 160 seats and leading in 3 seats.
Incumbent Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has also won from the Budhni constituency.
Chouhan was contesting against Congress leader Vikram Mastal Sharma, who secured only 59,977 votes.
Budhni is one of the Assembly seats of Madhya Pradesh’s Sehore district. It is a part of the Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency.The Budhni Assembly constituency is a general seat, i.e. it is not reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs) or Scheduled Tribes (STs). The voting took place on November 17, 2023, in Budhni.
Aazad Samaj Party’s (Kanshi Ram) Dinesh Azad was also contesting from the same seat and secured 3rd position in the tally.
Chouhan relied heavily on schemes for women like the ‘Ladli Behna Yojana’ under which Rs 1250 is transferred monthly to eligible women from poor families in the state.
While Congress described it as an election sop, implemented months before the assembly polls, the BJP leaders have said that it is in line with the party’s work for empowering women. (ANI)
