Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to discuss the political situation in the state. Chouhan tweeted photos of the meeting and stated that they discussed the development of the state and the law and order situation in detail. He also mentioned that he received sincere guidance on various issues.
With elections to the state Assembly coming up later this year, the political tussle between the Congress and BJP in Madhya Pradesh is on an upswing. However, the BJP is facing challenges from within the party, including the recent resignation of Deepak Joshi, son of former Chief Minister Kailash Joshi, who quit BJP and joined the Congress last month.
On Wednesday, Baijnath Yadav, a staunch supporter of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, also left the BJP and joined Congress. Furthermore, there is a political tussle between the MLAs who joined the party with Scindia in the state and the old BJP cadre.
Given these circumstances, Shivraj’s meeting with Shah is considered to be significant. The political landscape in Madhya Pradesh is in flux, and the two leaders will have much to discuss in order to secure the BJP’s position in the state.
