Chhattisgarh polls result: CM's hometown to see most rounds of counting

Kawardha will keep the surprise going till the last moment, especially as Chhattisgarh is heading for a close contest

Chief Minister Raman Singh's hometown Kawardha will hold its cards close to the chest till the last moment as the counting of votes for the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections 2018 gets underway on Tuesday. 

Singh, desperate and anxious to win a successive fourth term, started his political innings as councillor and legislator from Kawardha. Though the chief minister is not contesting from his hometown, the Kawardha Assembly constituency will have the most rounds of counting and will be the last to declare the result. Singh is contesting from Rajnandgaon, where Congress has pitted Atal Bihari Vajpayee's niece Karuna Shukla against him.
