In the 2018 assembly elections, Congress had won three out of four seats in Jabalpur city. The Congress had won the North Central, West and East assemblies, while BJP got only the Cantt seat. In such a situation, the CM has now started focusing on the lost seats.
BJP has declared candidates for two assembly seats in Jabalpur in the first list. While Neeraj Singh has been given ticket from Bargi assembly, Anchal Sonkar will represent the party from East.
