EC data shows lowest response when it comes to filing nominations in 29 seats in MP
MADHYA Pradesh is home to the highest tribal population in the country, yet the scheduled tribes seem to be least enthusiastic when it comes to contesting November 17 assembly elections. As many as 3,832 candidates filed nominations till October 30- the last date of filing nominations - for the 230 seats in the state, according to the Election Commission statistics.
An analysis reveals that 29 seats showed the lowest response when it came to filing nominations spanning between six and 10 candidates on each of these seats. Of those 29 seats, 18 (62%) are reserved for ST candidates. These 18 seats form 38% of the 47 seats, which are reserved for ST candidates and are being hotly pursued by all major political parties.
