MP polls: BJP holds late-night meeting on Monday

With just a few days left for Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) conducted a high-level meeting in the state on late Monday night to chalk out the strategy for the ensuing polls.

BJP president Amit Shah, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, party's National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and other leaders attended the meeting that took place at the party's office in Bhopal.

The 230-Madhya Pradesh Assembly will go to polls on November 28 and the counting of votes will be held on December 11.

Chouhan, who has been serving as the chief minister of the state since 2005, is eyeing to secure his fourth consecutive term.

The Assembly election in the state is seen as a direct political battle between the BJP and the Congress. While Chouhan is eyeing to secure his fourth consecutive term as the chief minister of the state, the Congress party is looking to regain power after 2003.
