The results of the Madhya Pradesh elections were out on Sunday and speculation has already begun as to who will be the next Chief Minister of the state. The BJP has not yet declared any name for the coveted role, so it is up to the party's central leadership to decide who will be handed the command of the state.
The name of Shivraj Singh Chouhan is top of the list of candidates for the post. He led the party in the election and the impact of the 'Ladli Behna Yojna' on the outcome was apparent. Therefore, Chouhan could be getting another chance to become the Chief Minister.
Other names that are being considered for the role include Union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar and Prahlad Patel, Jyotiraditya Scindia, the party's state president VD Sharma and BJP's national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya. Discussions about the issue are taking place in Delhi and Prahlad Patel met the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP's national president JP Nadda on Monday. Sharma has also left for the national capital and other leaders are becoming active.
Chouhan has been meeting with the Ministers and legislators who won the election throughout the day. According to sources, the party's central leadership will take a decision on the new leaders for Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan first and then decide on the name for the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. The new Vidhan Sabha must be formed by January 6th and the BJP's leadership has enough time to take a decision on the matter.
The Congress party is set to discuss its poll debacle at a meeting in Bhopal on December 5th.
