Bundelkhand: BJP, Congress look to shine in polls in a poor region with diamond mine

Bundelkhand, a region in Madhya Pradesh, has traditionally shown support for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in elections. However, the upcoming assembly polls will test whether the Congress can make inroads into the BJP's voter base. Bundelkhand faces issues such as drought, poverty, and caste conflicts. The area also has the influence of the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party from neighboring Uttar Pradesh.
