Madhya Pradesh, a significant Indian state, has witnessed a tumultuous political journey in recent years. The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), a prominent political party, lost its stronghold in 2018, only to regain it in 2020.
And now all eyes are on the BJP if they can retain the states. The state polled on November 17 and results will be announced by Dec 3, 2023.
In the Assembly elections of 2018, to everyone's surprise, BJP lost the reign to Congress. The defeat was a result of multiple factors, including farmer distress and rampant unemployment.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan who enjoyed back-to-back terms had to step down after the 2018 election as the BJP managed to win only 109 seats as opposed to the 114 by the Congress.
The Congress government under Kamal Nath, however, was unable to hold its ground. Due to internal conflict, its government collapsed in March 2020, paving the way for BJP's reinstatement. The return was facilitated by Jyotiraditya Scindia's move from Congress to BJP, turning the tables in BJP's favour. Following this, BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan took oath as Madhya Pradesh's chief minister for the fourth time in March 2020.
