MP Assembly polls: BJP, Congress look to shine in Bundelkhand region

Bundelkhand, an impoverished and drought-prone region of Madhya Pradesh, has shown a clear tilt towards the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in elections in the last two decades, but it remains to be seen if this trend will continue in the upcoming assembly polls, too, or the Congress will make a dent in the saffron party's voter base. The region, despite having a diamond mine in Panna district, has battled droughts, economic disparity, poverty and caste conflicts for decades. The politics of Bundelkhand, which straddles Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, is more complex than other regions of the centrally-located state which will vote on November 17 to elect a new 230-member assembly. As it borders Uttar Pradesh, the area has pockets of influence of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), key political players in the adjoining northern state.

BJP accuses Cong of 'stealing' Imran Khan's theme song for MP poll campaign

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday alleged the Congress has "stolen" the theme song of Imran Khan-founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for its Jan Aakrosh Yatra campaign in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, inviting a sharp attack from the opposition party. The Yatra is scheduled to set out from September 19 from seven places in the state, where assembly elections are due in November this year. The row erupted after MP BJP unit secretary Rahul Kothari alleged the Congress has copied Chalo, Chalo Imran Ke Sath, which he said is the theme song of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, in its recently-released song Chalo, Chalo Congress Ke Sang Chalo Chalo for the Jan Aakrosh Yatra. The state BJP shared the video of the theme song of the Pakistan-based party along with the Congress' poll campaign song on its official X account. Till now, the Congress used to accept those who raised slogans in favour of Pakistan and against Hindustan. Now, Madhya Pradesh Congress is also borrowing songs from Pakistan,
