New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a significant meeting in New Delhi to discuss the political situation and strategies of the state to tackle the upcoming assembly elections.
"Today, meeting the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, discussed the development of the state along with the law and order situation in detail. During this conversation, received his sincere guidance on various issues", sharing photos of his meeting with Shah, Chouhan tweeted on Wednesday.
Elections to the state Assembly are to be held in Madhya Pradesh later this year and in view of the preparations for these elections, the ongoing political tussle between the Congress and BJP is continuously on an upswing.
However, the BJP is facing many challenges from within the party. Deepak Joshi, son of former Chief Minister Kailash Joshi, who was one of the founding leaders of the party, quit BJP and joined the Congress last month. On the other hand, on Wednesday, Baijnath Yadav, who is considered a staunch supporter of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, also left the BJP and joined Congress.
There is also a political tussle between the MLAs who joined the party with Scindia in the state and the old BJP cadre. In view of these critical political circumstances, this meeting of Shivraj with Shah is considered to be quite significant.
