Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The counting of votes for the recently held assembly election is going to take place on Sunday. The election outcome may favour any political party, but the shadow of defeat is looming over many ministers. Although most of the exit polls are showing BJP’s victory, many ministers may lose the election.

One of the important ministers who may lose the election is Gourishankar Bisen from Balaghat. The BJP announced the name of his daughter Mausam Bisen as candidate from the constituency, but because of her illness, Bisen was fielded from the constituency. Bisen is in a tight corner this time.

Likewise minister for cooperatives department Arvind Bhadoria is batting on a sticky in Ater, because of party’s rebel candidate Munna Singh Bhadoria who is contesting against the minister. Bharat Singh Kushwaha from Gwalior (rural) is also in a bind, because of anti-incumbency against him, and support of the Gurjar community for his opponent from the Congress, Sahab Singh Gurjar.

Similarly the chariot of Ramkhelawan Patel from Amarpatan constituency in Satna is not on royal road to success. Congress candidate Rajendra Singh is dominating the political scene in the area. Similar is the condition of Suresh Dhakad who is locked in a tough contest, and because of the BSP candidate, Dhakad is losing votes. He may be defeated.

Ministers caught in a bind

Home Minister Narottam Mishra is caught in a tough fight in Datia. Congress candidate Rajendra Bharti is giving him sleepless nights.

Another minister Kamal Patel is also not in a good position and facing a tough situation this time.

Mining minister Brajendra Pratap Singh from Khargapur and minister of state Rahul Singh Lodhi are also sailing on the same boat.

Congress leaders, too, facing defeat

Like the BJP ministers, many Congress leaders are also facing defeat in their respective constituencies.

Leader of opposition Govind Singh, former minister KP Singh, legislator Laxman Singh, Sachin Yadav, Sajjan Singh Verma, PC Sharma and NP Prajapati are in trouble.

According to reports, it is not going to be a cake walk for leaders, like Jitu Patwari, Heeralal Alwa, Kamleshwar Patel, Rajkumar Patel and Deepak Joshi in this election.

All these leaders are up the creek in these constituencies.
