Madhya Pradesh exit polls: BJP is likely to win 28-29 seats, whereas INDIA Bloc will get 0-1 seats, as per the data released by Axis My India- India Today. BJP is expected to get 61 per cent votes and Congress will get 33 per cent votes.

 The elections in Madhya Pradesh were conducted in four phases from April 19 to May 13, to elect 29 members to the 18th Lok Sabha. 

In Indore, the Congress started seeking votes for NOTA after its candidate, Akshay Kanti Bam, withdrew his nomination from the Lok Sabha elections at the last moment (on April 29). The party was left with no alternative.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP secured 28 out of 29 seats. The BJP aims to repeat its victory from the 2023 assembly elections, where it secured 163 out of 230 seats. Both the BJP and the INC have a strong presence in the Hindi heartland state, turning it into a battleground for electoral supremacy.

In Guna, Jyotiraditya Scindia from BJP is up against Congress’ Rao Yadvendra Singh. In Chhindwara, Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath is fighting against Vivek Sahu of BJP. In Vidisha, BJP stalwart Shivraj Singh Chouhan is up against Congress contender Pratap Bhanu Sharma.
