India News | BJP Will Suffer Shock Defeat in MP Assembly Polls Like Karnataka: Robert Vadra

Indore, Oct 29 (PTI) Businessman Robert Vadra, son-in-law of former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, on Sunday said the ruling BJP will suffer a drubbing in the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections like Karnataka and the Congress will win with an overwhelming majority.

“BJP had toppled the government in Karnataka. We (Congress) had won the assembly elections there and voters gave them (the BJP) a shock. The same thing will happen in Madhya Pradesh because they (BJP) had pulled down the government here as well (in 2020),” Vadra told PTI at Indore airport.
