MP Election 2023: BJP Releases 4th List Of 57 Candidates, Fields Narottam Mishra From Datia

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday released its fourth list, including 57 candidates ahead of Madhya Pradesh assembly elections 2023.

The BJP has fielded Dr Narottam Mishra from Datia constituency, Dr Arvind Singh Bhadoriya from Ater, Bharat Singh Kushwah from Gwalior Rural and Bhupendra Singh from Surkhi.

Other notable BJP candidates comprise Bhagirath Chaudhary, who is vying for the Balaknath seat, and Narendra Kumar, slated to represent Rajyawarddhan Singh Jaipur.

Of particular significance among these choices is the candidacy of Diya Kumari for Vidyanagar, representing a significant shift from her prior role as a Member of Parliament (MP) in the Rajya Sabha.

Earlier in the day, the Election Commission of India disclosed that the elections for the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly will be conducted in a single phase on November 17, with the results set to be announced on December 3.

Presently, the BJP holds sway exclusively in Madhya Pradesh, and it is intensively campaigning to dislodge the Congress government in Chhattisgarh.

In the 2018 elections, the BJP secured 15 out of 90 seats in the Chhattisgarh assembly, as opposed to Congress's 68 seats. In the 230-member Madhya Pradesh assembly, the BJP clinched 109 seats, while the Congress obtained 114 seats.
