Bhopal: With less than a year left for elections in Madhya Pradesh, both the state’s major political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress, have been seen attacking each other, as in the recent Winter session of the Assembly, to gain primacy.
Both the parties are hopeful of victory in next year’s elections and are trying their best to pull ahead.
In the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress got an edge and returned to power after a decade and a half, while the saffron party, after being in power for more than a decade, was left behind by a small margin.
However, the Congress, even after its win, went through major political turmoil, wherein its leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 22 MLAs joined the BJP, which then regained power.

Both are putting efforts to ensure that the victory margin in the upcoming polls is large enough to not cause any hindrance in the formation of the government.
