Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The poll bugle has been sounded in Madhya Pradesh, voting dates have been announced and BJP has already released its four lists. However, Congress is maintaining its suspense.
As the Congress is yet to announce its candidates, BJP spokesperson Narendra Saluja took to X (Formerly Twitter), sharing how Congress candidates might be waiting for the list, and attached a clip of Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bacchan's song "Inteha ho gayi Intezaar ki".
Saluja captioned, "Madhya Pradesh Congress candidates these days must be definitely singing the song-- "Inteha ho gayi Intezaar ki."
Well, it seems BJP is waiting for the opposition's lists, more than the Congress members!
There were speculations that Congress will resist from releasing the list due to ongoing "pitru paksha". Later, Congress state chief Kamal Nath confirmed it that he won't be releasing any lists till October 14, when the pitru paksha ends.
