The elections to Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh are called the semi-finals of the Lok Sabha.

what is your status in mp
Till now in Madhya Pradesh, the main contest has been between the BJP and the Congress. The effect of BSP is also visible in some seats of Gwalior-Chambal region. The party is happy with the success achieved by the Aam Aadmi Party in the urban body elections. You have a mayor in Singrauli Municipal Corporation. At the same time, the party has 40 councilors in the entire state. There were about 135 seats in MP’s civic elections where AAP’s councilor candidates stood second and lost the elections by a small margin. After these victories, Aam Aadmi Party has increased its focus in MP. However, the organization of the party is not yet strong enough to give a direct fight to the BJP-Congress.
BJP-Congress on target
In Raipur and Jaipur rally, Arvind Kejriwal’s direct target was on BJP and Congress. He attacked both the parties fiercely. Arvind Kejriwal while addressing the meeting in Jaipur had said that BJP-Congress looted Rajasthan alternately for years. Congress ruled Rajasthan for 48 years while BJP ruled for 18 years and now both the parties cannot say that the people did not give them a chance. On the other hand, in Chhattisgarh, focusing on the tribal issue, he had said that the BJP-Congress has stopped the progress of Chhattisgarh.
Trying to make myself a national option
After getting the status of a national party, now the Aam Aadmi Party is projecting Arvind Kejriwal as a national alternative. The emphasis is on opposition unity ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The situation is not yet clear regarding which leader will hold the reins of opposition unity. On the other hand, Mamta Banerjee had also entered the election field of Goa to present herself at the national level but she did not get success. Before the Lok Sabha elections, Arvind Kejriwal is trying to strengthen his claim by winning the elections in these states. If AAP gets success in these three states, AAP will emerge as the strongest opposition after Congress. You already have 8 MPs in the Rajya Sabha.
