BHOPAL: The time to vote for 28 seats is hard by. The BJP and the Congress have campaigned for 20 days for the by-elections. Nonetheless, the picture about the poll outcome is not yet clear. Both parties are making tall claims about their victory, but they are not sure of it.
Because of voters’ silence, there is no wave in favour of any party. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the outcome.
Both parties spared no effort in each of the 16 seats in the Gwalior-Chambal region.According to reports, the Congress and the BJP are locked in a ding-dong battle in this region.
Gwalior (East), Dabra, Gohad, Sumawali, Ashoknagar, Pohri and Bahmori are set to witness tough fight.
There are three-cornered contests in Mehgaon, Bhander, Ambah, Joura and Morena. There is impact of BSP candidates in these seats.
Independent candidate Abhinav Chhari is on a strong wicket in Ambah. Nevertheless, the fight is not tough in Dimni, Gwalior and Karera.
Apart from that, the BJP and the Congress are locked in straight fight in 12 seats.
They are Surkhi, Suwasara, Hatpiplya, Biaora, Nepanagar, Bada Malhera, Sanchi, Mandhata, Anuppur, Agar, Badnawar and Sanwer.
The third party has no impact in the above seats. Therefore, the fight is between the BJP and the Congress.
