MP Election 2023: Priyanka Gandhi to kick-start mega Congress poll campaign 'Mahakaushal' today

With just five months left for Madhya Pradesh Assembly election 2023, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will on Monday (June 12) launch the poll campaign from Jabalpur. The campaign, also known as 'Mahakaushal', the Jabalpur region is turning out to be the centre of power politics.

The MP Congress led by Kamal Nath has prepared a plan to counter the BJP's women centric financial scheme in the name of "Nari Samman Yojana" along with cooking gas at subsidised rate of Rs 500 and electricity at cheaper rate to all kinds of consumers.

It can be seen that the Mahakaushal and Vindhya regions were untouched by Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra. Therefore, the party has decided to launch its poll campaign from Jabalpur, which holds significance due to its substantial tribal voter population.

Madhya Pradesh is divided into six regions, namely Mahakoshal, Gwalior-Chambal, Central India, Nimar-Malwa, Vindhya Pradesh and Bundelkhand. The Mahakoshal region, also known as Jabalpur division, comprises the districts of Jabalpur, Katni, Seoni, Narsinghpur, Balaghat, Mandla, Dindori, and Chhindwara, with a total of 38 Assembly seats.
