The 2004 Indian general election in Madhya Pradesh was a significant political event held from April 20 to May 10, 2004, as part of the national election to the Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of Parliament. Madhya Pradesh, a key state in central India, comprised 29 parliamentary constituencies during this election. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aimed to retain its dominance, having been in power both in the state assembly and at the national level.

The election was marked by issues such as rural development, governance, and communal harmony, reflecting the diverse political landscape of the state. Ultimately, voter turnout and results in Madhya Pradesh contributed to the overall dynamics of the national electoral outcome, influencing the formation of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
