The people of Madhya Pradesh are voting for 230 assembly seats in one of the most crucial heartland states. The turnout was 6.3 per cent till 10 am, according to the Election Commission. People in Mizoram — the BJP's last frontier in the north-east — also turned out in large number to cast their vote today, with a turnout of 15 per cent till 9 am, reports NDTV.
In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP, led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, is seeking a fourth term in power. The Congress is banking on anti-incumbency for what it calls a "make or break election". Mizoram is one of the five states where Rahul Gandhi's party is still in power. For the BJP, it is a crucial box to be ticked to reach their goal of ruling the northeast, NDTV reported.
