Polling will be held on 64,523 polling booths across the state on November 17.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who led the party's entire campaign and addressed over a dozen rallies in different parts of the state, will be campaigning in Datia in Gwalior-Chambal region in the day.

In the second half of the day, she will be addressing a rally in Sidhi district of Vindhya region.
