BJP in MP dealing with open dissent as elections approach

The Hindu  

Raipur This has been a summer of discontent for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Madhya Pradesh, with leaders and workers across regions registering their displeasure openly in different fora. Sources said he was responding to a statement made by three-time former Congress MLA from Mungaoli seat Gajram Singh Yadav at a recent event organized by the Yadav community. The challenge of accommodating Mr. Scindia’s loyalists and BJP workers who have been loyal activists for decades in the Gwalior Chambal region is staring the party in the face. Old timers in the party have been openly discussing past statements by Mr. Scindia as a Congressmen as well as the actions and performance of his loyalists, many of whom are a part of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s cabinet. Among the many factors that led to the exit of three time former MLA Deepak Joshi earlier this month was the likelihood of the party reposing its faith in Manoj Choudhary – another MLA who switched over to the BJP from the Congress with Mr. Scindia – from Bagli seat in 2023.
