As the 25 constituencies in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur division go to polls on November 17, the Congress and the BJP would be slugging it out in this belt which sends nearly a third of MLAs to the 90-member State Assembly.
Among the five administrative divisions of the State, the Bilaspur division, located in the central region, has the highest number of 25 Assembly constituencies which will play a crucial role in deciding the winner this time.
Notably, this was the only division which the Congress did not sweep in 2018, while the BJP, which faced a rout elsewhere, won nearly half of its State-wide tally in this region.
