Former CM Vasundhara Raje, CM Shivraj Singh and former CM Raman Singh
After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came close to winning with two-thirds majority, the discussions about change of leadership in Madhya Pradesh have started heating up as Shivraj Singh Chouhan once again proved his popularity in the state despite all the adverse circumstances. Is. In the assembly elections of five states, BJP did not announce the chief ministerial face in any state. Despite the presence of some rivals, Shivraj has emerged as the favorite to retain power in Madhya Pradesh, but the leadership race is open in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. In both these states, BJP has wrested power from Congress.
Let us tell you that many potential contenders for the post of CM in the three Hindi speaking states have not contested the assembly elections. The party has in the past also expressed confidence in leaders who were not members of state assemblies, such as Yogi Adityanath in 2017. The party later selected him for the post of Chief Minister.

BJP can choose a new face in Rajasthan
Observers of politics in Rajasthan believe that BJP’s easy majority means that the party leadership can choose a new face for the post of Chief Minister, even though two-time former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje due to her stature and large support base. Reasons are natural contenders. Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Arjun Ram Meghwal, state president CP Joshi, Diya Kumari and Mahant Balaknath are also being considered as possible candidates. Meghwal comes from the Scheduled Caste and is a Balaknath Yadav, the most numerous OBC community in Hindi-speaking states. Balaknath’s staunch Hindutva image is seen as an advantage for him. BJP sources said that someone like Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who has been an MLA three times and who enjoys the confidence of the party leadership, could also be a natural contender.
Will caste factor decide the name of Chief Minister?
With only four months left for the next Lok Sabha elections, the party can keep in mind the broader social discourse in choosing its choice for the post of Chief Minister in these three states. This idea could put obstacles in the way of someone like Shekhawat in Rajasthan because he comes from the Rajput community. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami both come from this caste. It also favors someone like Chouhan, who is the only chief minister from the OBC community in the BJP and who is also popular. However, some party leaders also said that the results underlined the widespread support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agenda in the states and the decision should be seen in that context. However, in Telangana it remains at third position despite improvement in its vote share and number of seats.
