Bhopal: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party which is seeking a fourth straight term in Madhya Pradesh, has roped in magicians to highlight the work done by Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in the last 15 years and compare it with that of the previous Congress government.

"We have plans to hire magicians for campaigning and publicity," MP BJP spokesman Rajnish Agrawal said and added that magic shows would be organised at marketplaces to reach out to voters, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.

The number of magicians to be utilised for this is yet to be decided and the party hopes to start the magic shows soon and budget allocation for these activities is currently being worked out, Agrawal said.

"We want to tell people about what the BJP government has done for people, especially the weaker sections of society in Madhya Pradesh in the last 15 years," the spokesman said.

The magic shows would also highlight the "poor condition" of roads, electricity supply, and basic amenities during the 10-year Congress government headed by Digvijay Singh between 1993 and 2003 in the state, he further added.

The MP Assembly polls will be held on November 28 and counting of votes will take place on December 11.

The saffron party is thinking about not giving tickets to 80 of its sitting legislators for upcoming assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh while the Congress is going to re-nominate 42 out of its 57 legislators.

In a new strategy to corner the BJP government ahead of assembly polls, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee head Kamal Nath will expose the ruling BJP by asking one query every day for the next 40 days.
