Shivraj Singh Chauhan govt is set to return in Madhya Pradesh for a second consecutive term as at leaat two exit polls have predicted a thumping win for the saffron party.&nbsp;

Most exit polls have predicted an advantage for the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, where voting was held on November 17 for the 230-member assembly.&nbsp;
While the BJP is in power in the Madhya Pradesh assembly, Jan Ki Baat exit poll predicted that the saffron party would get 100-123 seats and the Congress 102-125 seats. In the largely bipolar contest, each of the parties would need 116 seats to form the government.
Republic TV-Matrize forecast 118-130 seats for the BJP and 97-107 for the Congress, essentially forecasting continuation of Shivraj Singh Chauhan as the chief minister.&nbsp;
But Today's Chanakya predicted a massive victory for the BJP, forecasting that the saffron party would get 151 (plus minus 12 seats) and the Congress 74 (plus minus 12 seats).

'No one can stop CAA': Amit Shah launches BJP's 2024 campaign for West Bengal

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Wednesday that the Central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and no one can stop it.
Addressing a big rally here to launch the BJP's Lok Sabha campaign, Shah launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issues of appeasement, infiltration, corruption and political violence, alleging she has "destroyed" the state.
Banerjee has been opposing the CAA due to her support to infiltration, he asserted, adding that a state with so much infiltration cannot develop.
He urged people to throw out her government by electing the BJP in the next assembly polls in 2026 and asked them to lay its foundation by supporting the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
He said, "Give so many seats to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls that Modi ji says I have become PM due to Bengal." The Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress won the last assembly polls by "rigging" but the BJP jumped to 77 seats from zero, he said, calling upon people to end the TMC's alleged misrule of corruption, infiltration, and political violence by electing a government conducive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda of development.
Lauding the turnout at the rally, he said this indicates the people's mood and claimed that the BJP will come to power with two-thirds majority in the state in 2026.
The BJP's performance in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will create the foundation of its win in the assembly polls, he said.
Turning to the contentious CAA issue, he said Banerjee has been opposing it but it is a law of the country and no one can stop its implementation, which has been in a limbo as the central government is yet to frame its rules amid the opposition's strong stand against the law.
Parliament had passed the law in 2019 They, Shah said in a reference to the intended beneficiaries of the law, have as much a right to citizenship as anyone else. Banerjee has once stalled Parliament over the issue of infiltration but she is now keeping mum, he said, claiming that no one can infiltrate into Assam after the BJP was voted to power in the state.
"Assam has done a commendable job in stopping infiltration. But in West Bengal, infiltration persists due to the TMC government's vote-bank politics. Mamata Banerjee is opposing CAA, but let me say it clearly that CAA will be implemented in the country. No one can stop the implementation of CAA," Shah declared.
Hitting out at Banerjee over the suspension of the Leader of Opposition in Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari, he said she may try to silence him but cannot silence people of the state.
Her time as the state's chief minister is over, he said, often referring to her as 'didi'.
Shah dared Banerjee to suspend from her party some of its leaders arrested in corruption cases and said she cannot do it as she apprehended that they may implicate her nephew, a reference to MP Abhishek Banerjee.
"The people of Bengal are fed up with the cut money and syndicates of TMC," he said.
The home minister said as many as 212 BJP workers have been killed in West Bengal in political violence and added that people will avenge these murders with their votes in the 2026 assembly polls.
Banerjee has destroyed West Bengal, Shah alleged, citing political violence, corruption, appeasement in state. The state's development is Modi's top priority but it can only happen when there is a government conducive to the prime minister's agenda, he said.
He urged people to ensure a big win for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
"We must ensure that the BJP forms the next government in West Bengal. To achieve this, we must win the maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from the state in the next Parliamentary elections," Shah emphasised, echoing sentiments expressed during an April rally when he set a target of winning over 35 seats in the state.
The union minister was addressing the rally at the historic Esplanade, with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in the state. The party had won 18, its highest ever, of the state's 42 seats in 2019.
At the rally Shah was joined by the state party leadership and Union ministers from the state.&nbsp;

Amit Shah sounded the poll bugle for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Kolkata on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Attacking the ruling TMC and Mamata Banerjee, Amit Shah said that if Bengal wants to uproot the 'corrupt' party from the state then it has to elect Narendra Modi as prime minister again in 2024.&nbsp;
He said the process of removing Mamata Banerjee from power in the 2026 West Bengal elections has to begin with the election of Modi as PM again in 2024.&nbsp;
Shah also targeted the Bengal chief minister for opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act and accused her of minority appeasement.&nbsp;

The Election Commission has asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana.

EC asks Cong's Karnataka govt to stop ads in poll-bound Telangana

The Election Commission has asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana.

The Election Commission on Monday asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements about its work in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana and sought an explanation from it for not seeking prior approval as mandated under the poll code.
Earlier in the day, the BJP lodged a complaint with the Commission in the matter, alleging that the Congress has violated the Representation of the People Act and the Model Code of Conduct with its government in Karnataka putting out advertisements in the Telangana media with an eye on the November 30 assembly polls there. The BRS too approached the poll panel on the issue.
In a letter to the Karnataka chief secretary, the Commission said the state government did not obtain prior approval from it for publishing the advertisements, an action violative of the poll code instructions issued to central and state governments years ago.
It also said the publication of any such advertisement by the government of Karnataka in Telangana should stop with immediate effect till necessary approvals are taken by the state government from the Commission.
It has sought an explanation by 5 pm on Tuesday on the circumstances which led to the violation of the Commission's Model Code of Conduct (MCC) instructions.
In its letter, the Commission also asked why disciplinary action should not be taken against the secretary-in-charge of the Department of Information and Public Relations for violations of procedure as required under MCC instructions.
In the past, the Commission had observed that certain advertisements highlighting welfare schemes and achievements of the central and state governments were being published by some non-poll-going states in the newspapers in poll-bound states.
The Commission had considered this to be a violation of the spirit of the Model Code of Conduct.
In 2013, it had directed that, in future, all such advertisements issued by non-poll-going states during the Model Code of Conduct period would be forwarded to the Commission for clearance before they are sent for publication in newspapers having editions or circulation in the poll-bound states.
Assembly polls are due in Telangana on November 30, with the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the Congress and the BJP locked in a keen battle.

Telangana polls | Rahul Gandhi is PM Modi's biggest asset: KT Rama Rao

Ahead of Telangana elections, BRS leader KT Rama Rao said Rahul Gandhi is an asset for PM Modi.

BRS leader KT Rama Rao on November 8 said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's biggest asset.
Speaking to India Today, the BRS working president said that if Congress can defeat BJP, they should do it in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat but not obstruct BRS, the one party that is capable of defeating the saffron party in Telangana.
Rao further said that Modi and Gandhi would not like to see any third person emerge in the country.
"Rahul alleges every other party is a B-team for the BJP. He should work on his own weaknesses," said Rao.
The state will go to polls on November 30. The counting of votes will take place on December 3.

The counting was earlier scheduled for December 3, along that in four other states -- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana - where assembly polls were held last month.

The counting of votes in Mizoram will take place on December 4, a day after it was originally scheduled, the Election Commission said on Friday.
It said the decision was taken following representations from various quarters requesting for a change in the date of counting from December 3 on the ground that Sunday holds a special significance for the people of Mizoram, a Christian-majority state.
"The Commission, having considered these representations, has decided to revise the date of counting for the General Election to the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram from 3rd December, 2023 (Sunday) to 4th December, 2023 (Monday)," it stated.
The counting was earlier scheduled for December 3, along that in four other states -- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana - where assembly polls were held last month.
