The Congress party’s Central Election Committee on Wednesday cleared 80 names for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
State Congress media in-charge Shobha Oza said the list would soon be out. However, party sources claimed that there is no chance for declaration of the list before October 25.
Notably, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled Madhya Pradesh is all set to go for polling on 28 November to elect members of the 230 constituencies.
The last date of filing nominations is November 9. The counting of votes will take place on December 11. On October 6, election dates were announced. On January 7, 2019, the tenure of MP assembly ends.
The polls in the state are being seen as a direct political battle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress.
While Shivraj Singh Chouhan government will try to win for the consecutive fourth term, the grand old party will fight for regaining power after 2003.
