"The BJP came to power about seven years ago making claims of ending corruption. But this is the most corrupt government," he alleged. When the Samajwadi Party was in power in the state, even a common worker could get his work done easily, but now nothing happens without a commission even if the the recommendation has come from an MP or an MLA, the SP general secretary claimed. Police stations or tehsils are not listening to people's complaints, he claimed. He also said the present government has not been able to bring development in any area and the entire country is in "the hands of bureaucracy". On party leader A

MP's 'rainbow' region that turned saffron in 2018; Cong eyes better show

Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region was nearly swept by the BJP in the 2018 assembly elections, but it has a history of giving space to parties with different ideological hues - from Communists to the BSP - making the region politically evolved where the Congress will look to improve tally in the upcoming polls and new entrant AAP try to notch up its first win in the state.

The region bordering Uttar Pradesh has 30 assembly seats and is spread across nine eastern districts of Madhya Pradesh - Rewa, Shahdol, Satna, Sidhi, Singrauli, Anuppur, Umaria, Maihar and Mauganj (the last two were created recently). The Congress failed to perform well in the 2018 assembly elections and managed to win only six seats, while the ...
