Bhind Lok Sabha constituency has a total of 8 assembly segments which include Ater, Bhind, Lahar, Mehgaon, Gohad (SC), Sewda, Bhander (SC) and Datia. 

 

Bhind appears to be a strong seat for the BJP since it has been continuously winning here it since 2004 elections and if voters remain loyal to the party, the BJP would be able to make its way in 2019 as well. At the same time, it would be interesting to see whether the results of 2018 assembly election play any damage for the BJP.

 

Bhagirath Prasad of the BJP is the sitting MP in Bhind who had thrashed Imarti Devi of the Congress by over 1.5 lakh votes in 2014. Being an SC seat, the BJP is banking upon Sandhya Rai in the forthcoming elections.

Elections in 29 Lok Sabha constituencies in Madhya Pradesh is being held in 4 phases, out of which, two phases have already taken place on April 29 (4th phase) — on 6 seats and May 06 (5th phase) — on 7 seats. The polling on remaining 16 seats will be held on:

In 2014, riding on Modi wave, the BJP bagged 27 out of the total 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh while only 2 seats were won by the Congress party.  

 

The voter turnout in the first and second phases of Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha polls 2019 stood at 66.68% and 69% respectively. 

 

Out of 29 Lok Sabha seats, 4 have been reserved for Scheduled Castes and 6 are reserved for Scheduled Tribes in Madhya Pradesh.

 

 

The BJP which was ruling the state for the past three terms lost to Congress in 2018 assembly election. Out of total 230 assembly seats, BJP won 109 and Congress bagged 114, forming the government in the state. While BJP's loss was due to anti-incumbency and other factors, it still managed to win over 100 seats and was only a few seats short to once again form the government in the state.

 

It would be interesting to see whether assembly election 2018 result would matter to lower BJP's tally in Lok Sabha election or will it be once that Modi wave will help the party to bag maximum number of seats in 2019.

 

Lok Sabha election 2019 is being held in 7 phases. Voting in the first five phases have already taken place. The remaining two phases will vote on May 12 (6th phase) and May 19 (7th phase). Counting of votes will take place on May 23.
