The ruling BJP is ahead of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh as per the latest trends available from counting for the 230-member assembly. According to trends, the BJP has crossed the half way mark, leaving the Congress behind in the state. Madhya Pradesh has been a BJP stronghold for the last twenty years, barring the 15-month tenure of the Kamal Nath-led government when Congress came to power in 2018. Later, Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 22 MLAs, switched over to the BJP and Chouhan again assumed office as Chief Minister of the state.
