New Delhi: As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections heat up in Madhya Pradesh, two major political and former chief ministers, Digvijaya Singh of the Congress and Shivraj Singh Chouhan of the BJP, are set to clash in a high-stakes battle. Given their long political careers and substantial statewide influence, both leaders’ candidatures have raised the already ongoing Lok Sabha Elections.

Digvijaya Singh, a seasoned Congress leader, has a long-standing history with the Rajgarh constituency, from which he will be contesting in the upcoming elections. The 77-year-old politician began his journey as the president of the Raghogarh Nagar Palika from 1969 to 1971 and has since held various prominent positions, including serving as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh from 1993 to 2003.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, a prominent BJP leader, is no stranger to political battles. The 64-year-old has served as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for three terms, making him the longest-serving CM from the BJP. Chouhan will be contesting from his stronghold, the Vidisha constituency, which he has represented five times before becoming the Chief Minister in 2005.

Singh, known for his outspoken nature and controversial views, has been an integral part of the Congress campaign led by Kamal Nath. He has expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, claiming that the Congress will secure over 130 seats in the state.

Meanwhile, Chouhan has been leading the BJP’s charge, with the party aiming to win all 29 parliamentary seats in Madhya Pradesh. The BJP has been targeting Singh, accusing him of misrule during his tenure as Chief Minister and labeling him as “anti-Hindu”. However, Singh remains unfazed and has even challenged to contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Chouhan himself.
