The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh is facing stiff competition from the Congress party in the upcoming elections, and is also plagued by internal rifts. Many sitting MLAs are reportedly being denied tickets, leading to turf wars and infighting within the party.
The BJP has been in power in the state for almost two decades, and political experts say that the party is currently facing anti-incumbency. The saffron party is grappling with in-fighting, which could impact its prospects in the next elections.
The BJP has been conducting performance reviews of its elected representatives, which has not gone down well with many. The party may end up denying tickets to some of its MLAs, leading to dissatisfaction and conflict within the party. The situation is so severe that some members are even trying to one-up each other, which is resulting in the weakening of the party.
In Bundelkhand’s Sagar district, ministers Gopal Bhargav, Bhupendra Singh, and Govind Singh have been involved in a cold war over influence for several years. Recently, the conflict spilled out in the open, and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and state BJP president Vishnu Dutt Sharma were forced to intervene. However, the fight isn’t over yet.
In the Vindhya region, Satna MP Ganesh Singh and Maihar MLA Narayan Tripathi are fighting over who made whom win in the previous election. Meanwhile, in Ujjain, state Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav is facing opposition from senior party leaders, who have even complained to the Chief Minister and Sharma.
The state government has been announcing various measures and welfare schemes to woo voters, while the BJP is working to strengthen its grassroots organization. However, infighting within the party has created a negative perception of the BJP among voters. Political analysts say that the BJP has to find a way to deal with the anti-incumbency mood in the state, while also addressing the growing internal bickering.
