Chunav Manch: With the electoral battlefield fully set in Madhya Pradesh, political parties have fortified their fortresses and sharpened their arrows as the state gears up for a crucial electoral showdown. The Election Commission has officially announced the election schedule, with voting set for November 17 and the results to be unveiled on December 3. Amid this charged atmosphere, India TV's popular program, Chunav Manch, descended upon the state capital, Bhopal. Here, political leaders and spiritual figures from both major political parties shared their perspectives. Among them was the incumbent Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who presented his report card and expressed confidence in the BJP's return to power.
Chouhan emphasised the BJP's commitment to Madhya Pradesh's development over the past 18 years. He underlined the party's view of the public as an extended family and the chief minister as the family head responsible for addressing the family's shortcomings. He stressed that the state currently has a "double engine" government, indicating the BJP's presence at both the state and national levels, and he expressed his trust in the Madhya Pradesh electorate to bless the double engine government once again.
Chouhan went on to discuss the government's focus on individual citizens. He cited the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, an initiative that aimed to empower women and render them self-reliant. The scheme has liberated women from dependency and empowered them to manage their own expenses.
