Speaking to reporters after meeting with the Congress leadership of Madhya Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi expressed confidence that the grand old party will win 150 seats in the central Indian state.

“We had a detailed meeting right now and our internal assessment says that since we got 136 seats in Karnataka, we are now going to get 150 seats in Madhya Pradesh,” Rahul Gandhi said.

“We are going to repeat in MP what we did in Karnataka,” Gandhi said, with MPCC president Kamal Nath standing along with him.

MP Chief Minister and BJP leadr Shivraj Singh Chouhan hit back Rahul Gandhi’s claim, terming it as their ‘Khayali Pulao’ (fantasy).

Chouhan also claimed that the BJP is going to win 200 seats in MP.

Earlier in the day, Congress leaders hailing from Madhya Pradesh convened at the AICC headquarters to discuss their state’s readiness for the imminent assembly elections, in a meeting presided over by party leader Mallikarjun Kharge, and attended by Rahul Gandhi, KC Venugopal, former chief minister Kamal Nath, among others.
