MP Elections: Voting for 28 assembly seats begins
Bhopal: Voting for 28 assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh by-polls will take place today and the results will be declared on November 10.
By-elections were necessitated after 22 MLAs from former Congress government joined the BJP in March 2020, under the leadership of Jyotiraditya Scindia causing the 15-month-old Kamal Nath government to fall.
Soon, three other Congress MLAs joined the BJP which increased the tally to 25. The remaining three seats are vacant due to the death of incumbent MLAs paving the way for BJP's Shivraj Singh Chouhan to take over as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister for the fourth time.
