The Bharatiya Janata Party is likely to register a landslide victory in Madhya Pradesh, if Lok Sabha elections are held today in the country. According to India TV-CNX opinion poll projection, the saffron party seems to be way ahead and likely to win 25 seats out of the total 29 seats in the state. Meanwhile, Congress may have to settle for just four seats, as per the projection.
However, comparing to 2019 results, the BJP may lose 3 seats and Congress could gain 3 if these projections match the results whenever elections are held. As far as vote share is concerned, the BJP is expected to get 48 per cent, while Congress may secure 41 per cent.
