The BJP’s candidate list coincides with the Election Commission’s announcement of the poll schedule for five states, including Madhya Pradesh.

BJP has been proactive in announcing its candidates for the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls. The party unveiled its first list of candidates on August 17, comprising 39 nominees. The second list was released on September 25 and included three central ministers and four Lok Sabha MPs.

Additionally, the BJP announced that Monika Batti, who had previously been associated with the Gondwana Gantantra Party, would contest from Amarwara—a seat reserved for STs.
