With this, the Congress's strength in the state Assembly has reduced to 91.

In March this year, 22 Congress MLAs resigned from the Congress after former Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the party, resulting in the fall of the Kamal Nath-led Madhya Pradesh government.

On 23 March, Chouhan took oath as chief minister for a record fourth term. The BJP currently has 107 MLAs in the state Assembly.
