Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti has been disqualified from the state assembly after a Delhi court sentenced him to three years in jail for cheating and forgery.

Amid speculations on social media over former chief minister Kamal Nath's candidature in the upcoming state assembly elections, senior Congress leader on Friday had said that he will contest the polls.

The upcoming 2023 madhya pradesh assembly election is expected to be a fierce battle between the Congress and the BJP. While the BJP is relying on the star power of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its party organization, the Congress is counting on its army of cadres built up over the last few years. The BJP is not projecting a chief ministerial candidate, hoping to tackle anti-incumbency, while the Congress is going full steam ahead with Kamal Nath as its CM candidate. Both parties are focusing on booth-level strategies to secure victory.

When it comes to purse power, it’s wives of Madhya Pradesh’s heavyweight politicians who tip the scales. Affidavits filed before EC show that wives of more than half of the prominent leaders earn more than their husbands. This includes CM Chouhan, whose wife has an annual income of Rs 37 lakh — nearly twice as that of her husband’s.

The leader of opposition in the madhya pradesh assembly, Satyadev Katare said here today, that a "shadow cabinet" comprising Congress MLAs has been formed to keep a tab on different ministries of the state government.

In the upcoming madhya pradesh assembly polls, there are at least 12 constituencies where candidates from the BJP and Congress share the same surnames. This includes two high profile seats where BJP ministers are running against Congress candidates with matching surnames. Political experts attribute this to the dominance of caste factor in ticket distribution. Additionally, there are cases where one party has fielded a male candidate and the other a female candidate, but they share the same surname. This has the potential to confuse voters.

Polling in the Madhya Bharat region of the state displayed an upward swing on Wednesday as almost in all seven districts the voting per cent increased by 1.5 to 2% comparing to 2013 assembly polls.
