It is now less than a week before the first phase of Lok Sabha election and like the rest of the country, campaigning has reached its peak in Madhya Pradesh where six seats will go to the polls on April 19.
The six seats where voting will take place are Chhindwara, Mandla (ST), Balaghat and Jabalpur of Mahakoshal region, and Shahdol (ST) and Sidhi of Vindhya region. In 2019, the BJP had won five of them barring Chhindwara.
Top leaders of the two main parties in the State — the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress — including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi have campaigned here.
