The former Chief Minister said, “We have no Scindia (Jyotiraditya) and no traitor in the Congress now.” On the eve of vote counting scheduled for Sunday, the Congress leader told the press that the Congress was confident of returning to power by unseating the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh.

He said, “Tomorrow we will know where CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan stands. We will win more than 130 seats, not less than that in Madhya Pradesh.”
