The Congress and the BJP are still fighting it out in Madhya Pradesh. No party has gained majority.
The Congress party has the edge, if combined with the others (BSP+SP).
The existing Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh has still not tendered his resignation or claimed defeat. Even after a 15 year rule in the MP the BJP has great performance.
The vote share of the major parties is neck-to-neck.
If the Congress comes to power it has a problem to choose a Chief Minister. You have one from the old guard Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia who represents the youth. Like Rajasthan too, the Congress have two strong and able Chief Ministerial faces.
Only tomorrow or days from today you would get to know who would actually form the Government in Madhya Pradesh. An eye to eye battle.
Below were the highlights during the course of the day.
