Before the results of Kolaras and Mungaoli Assembly by-elections are out, Madhya Pradesh Congress has planned victory celebrations at State Congress headquarters in Bhopal on Wednesday.
The IT Cell of the party has issued an invitation to the media on Tuesday for the victory celebrations at the Pradesh Congress Committee office at 11 am on Wednesday.
The voting in Kolaras and Mungaoli constituencies had taken place on February 24 and counting of votes will be held Wednesday. There are 22 and 13 contestants in fray for the two seats respectively.
Riding on mass support base of MP Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Congress is hoping for wins in both seats while the ruling BJP is hoping that three-time Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has enough left in the tank to pull through in the bypolls.
If insiders in both the parties are to be believed, the Congress has emerged as the clear favourite for both seats. “The BJP failed to rein in its internal discontent which could make it pay heavily in the results,” a political analyst said.Political observers feel that a big loss for the BJP could set off alarm bells in the party, especially after it lost three bypolls in Rajasthan recently.
