BJP to win 17 out of 28 seats in Madhya Pradesh bypolls, exit poll predicts

The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government in Madhya Pradesh is expected to win 17 of the 28 seats on which bypolls were conducted earlier this week. The Congress, which has 80 seats in the 230-seat assembly, needs to win all 28 seats if it intends to form a government in the state. On the other hand, the BJP needs just nine seats to get a simple majority.
