The Bharatiya Janata Party has finally broken the suspense by appointing the first-ever tribal chief minister for Chhattisgarh, following the party’s victory in the recent assembly elections.
Now, the focus shifts to the selection of chief ministers for MP and Rajasthan. In line with the trend set in Chhattisgarh, the BJP is expected to embrace a fresh leadership approach in the remaining states. Nevertheless, formidable contenders like former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje and current Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan continue to be strong candidates for the position.
The BJP is likely to bring in new leaders for the remaining states, but the competition is tough with former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje and current Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan still in the running.
