"We are winning all 29 parliamentary seats in Madhya Pradesh," says MP minister Kailash Vijayvargiya
"I have to say that we are winning all 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh. Congress definitely sees a threat (referring to defeat) in the state and when Congress sees a threat, they blame Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). When they (Congress) win in Uttarakhand and Karnataka, they perform aarti (referring to appreciation) of EVM. If they lose, they question EVMs," Vijayvargiya said.

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], April 22 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya on Monday showed his confidence in making a clean sweep in the 2024 general elections in the state, stating that the BJP would win all 29 parliamentary seats.
"I have to say that we are winning all 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh. Congress definitely sees a threat (referring to defeat) in the state and when Congress sees a threat, they blame Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). When they (Congress) win in Uttarakhand and Karnataka, they perform aarti (referring to appreciation) of EVM. If they lose, they question EVMs," Vijayvargiya said.
The state minister further claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win the Indore parliamentary seat with over 8 lakh votes. BJP leader and sitting MP from the seat, Shankar Lalwani is again contesting in the 2024 LS polls.
"We will win the Indore Lok Sabha seat by over 8 lakh votes. I think there is enthusiasm among the workers and the public. People want to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi as PM for the third time. The way the country is progressing under his leadership today, every countryman wants that if anyone can take India forward then it is Narendra Modi," he said.
Meanwhile, when asked about Congress chief Jitu Patwari's claim to win four seats out of six parliamentary seats that went to polls in the first phase on April 19, Vijayvargiya said, Congress doesn't have workers, how will they win?
"Ever since Jitu Patwari became Congress' state president, only half the Congress workers are left in the state. If they don't have workers, how will they win? The second thing is that people do not trust their leader. If one sees the manifesto of the Congress party it seems that it is prepared by some leftist or Muslim League. They (Congress) do not think about the country but about the chair," the minister said.
Polling for the Lok Sabha in Madhya Pradesh will be conducted in four phases, with the next three phases of voting scheduled for April 26, May 7 and May 13. The counting of votes has been scheduled for June 4.
Madhya Pradesh has a total of 29 Lok Sabha constituencies, making it the sixth-largest state in terms of members it sends to the Lower House. Of these, 10 seats are reserved for SC and ST candidates, while the remaining 19 are unreserved. (ANI)
