The data collected would be used to chose the new CM in the three states. In Madhya Pradesh the names of Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia are doing the rounds although there are clear indications that the former would make the cut.

In Rajasthan the picture is not clear as yet. The choice for the Congress is either Ashok Gehlot or Sachin Pilot. The party is inclined towards Gehlot as it feels that he would be better suited to take on the BJP in 2019 in Rajasthan.

In Chhattisgarh, the names doing the rounds are that of Bhupesh Baghel, Tamradhwaj Sahu and T S Singh Deo.
