Chouhan confident of BJP win in MP; targets Congress
Two days ahead of counting, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Sunday said his party BJP will retain power in the state and accused the Congress of creating doubts in minds of people about the reliability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Chouhan, seeking a fourth straight term in office, said the Congress will try to create hindrances on the counting day.
Votes polled in the November 28 elections for the 230- member assembly in Madhya Pradesh will be counted on December 11.
Talking to reporters at state BJP headquarters here, Chouhan said, "BJP is going to form government again in Madhya Pradesh. Friends in Congress are talking baseless things out of desperation.
"We think as doubts were created about EVMs and even the Election Commission was not spared, they (Congress) will try to create hindrances on every step during the counting."
