BJP's first list of candidates for key states out before poll dates

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday announced candidates for 39 assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh, almost three months before the state elections are due in November, a move political experts said was unusually early for the party.

The list comprise names for 39 seats that the Congress won in 2018 assembly polls, and the contenders were picked by the BJP Central Election Committee, which met on Wednesday. The CEC meeting included Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh, party president JP Nadda, and other senior leaders.
