The Jabalpur Lok Sabha constituency has been a stronghold for the Bharatiya Jan Sangh (BJP) for decades. The party is likely to continue its stronghold in the region, as it replaces its 4-term MP Rakesh Singh with a local face. The party has fielded local leader Ashish Dubey as its candidate, fighting against Congress leader Dinesh Yadav. Dubey s decision to field Dubey came as a surprise to local BJP leaders.
Jabalpur Lok Sabha, a BJP stronghold since Jan Sangh, focuses on development. Rakesh Singh, 4-term MP, is now Minister. Local elections feature Ashish Dubey vs Dinesh Yadav for the seat.
