INDIA equation in MP polls: SP, AAP make a noise; Cong quiet

The upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh have seen a political sideshow with Congress allies AAP and Samajwadi Party (SP) vying for attention. Both parties have announced candidates despite their pan-India equations with Congress. So far, there has been no reaction from Congress on this matter. Although these parties do not have a strong presence in the state, they may impact the BJP’s chances in the Vindhya and Chambal regions. The ‘third force’ electorate, which previously supported SP and BSP, has now shifted towards the BJP.
