As per the latest trends available with the Election Commission, the BJP was leading in 161 out of the total 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, while the Congress was ahead in 66 seats.

”I have always told you that as far as Madhya Pradesh is concerned, people have given all their blessings to the double-engine government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi (at the Centre) and in the state led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan because of its welfare and development-oriented policies,” Scindia told reporters here.

Asked about the Congress’ claim of coming to power in the state, Scindia quipped he heard that ‘laddoos’ were stocked and even posters and banners were pasted.

“I have always maintained that better wait for the result and am always confident of getting the people’s blessings, and I bow before the entire population of the state for the BJP’s success,” he said.
