A Karnataka redux in Madhya Pradesh is likely however the Kamal Nath government is showing a brave face of having required number in Madhya Pradesh Assembly. Around 22 MLAs including six ministers have resigned from the government putting the Congress not only in tizzy but also in an embarrassing situation forcing the party parroting the same line that BJP is trying to topple the government.

In the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Assembly, the difference between the Congress and the BJP had been of seven legislators and the Congress formed the government with the help of independent, BSP and SP. Independent MLAs generally prefer to go with the ruling party and they are now in touch with the BJP. The case of Madhya Pradesh is different where one of its most senior leader is part of the coup.

 Reportedly Jyotiraditya Scindia was not granted audience of Congress president Sonia Gandhi paying the way for the coup and now he has been expelled after he resigned. The Congress was not ready to entertain Scindia as he has been toeing the BJP’s line on certain issues for which leadership was miffed with but the most interesting part of the story is that people are not happy with the Congress government and realised the mistake of voting the BJP out of power. They have been telling this to Scindia unequivocally.

They tried to compensate by defeating Mahraja from Guna but still, the Congress did not try to understand the sentiment of people including its promise made to farmers and ignoring many other issues of national interest. The CM kept on making such statements that is harming the Congress.

Scindia has been constantly in his lost constituency and trying to read the mind of the people for his defeat and it has been realised that policies of the Congress in no way a serious attempt to revive the fortunes of the Congress as it is working on a strategy that is rather harming it.

The Congress has lost a big leader in Madhya Pradesh and it is on the verge of loosing power in the state but Kamal Nath, Digvijay Singh and many such leaders are still ruling the roost in the state but they are apparently detrimental to the party which is trying hard to bounce back.
