Madhya Pradesh Polls: On CM Chouhan’s home turf Budhni, Congress’ ‘Hanuman’ seeks to pull off a miracle

With the Budhni constituency in MP gearing up for polls, the fight between BJP’s veteran Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Congress’ Vikram Mastal lacks intensity. Despite the entry of Samajwadi Party’s Mirchi Baba, the competition remains lukewarm. Chouhan, a four-time winner from Budhni, relies on BJP’s strong presence, while Mastal, known for playing Hanuman, asserts people’s discontent. Chouhan’s absence from the constituency is compensated by family members, and BJP leans on PM Modi’s popularity, opting not to project Chouhan due to incumbency fatigue. The dynamics hint at a challenging contest.
