Earlier today, Madhya Pradesh Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Gopal Bhargava said he would approach Governor Anandiben Patel to convene a special session of state Assembly, saying that the Congress government is in minority.

"We are sending a letter to the Governor requesting an assembly session as there are a lot of issues... It (the Madhya Pradesh government) will fall on its own. I don't believe in horse-trading but I feel its time has come and it will have to go soon," he said.

This comes a day after the most of the exit polls predicted a comfortable win for BJP-led NDA.

In 2018 Assembly election, Congress won 114 seats, only one short of the halfway mark in the 230-seat House. The BSP has two seats, Samajwadi Party one and four independent seats.
