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.
