In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has made a clean sweep in Madhya Pradesh. The party has even won those seats where the battle was considered tough, it could be possible due to Congress’ sitting MLAs who have switched over to the saffron party during the elections.

It was the strategy of MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and the new joining cell convener of the party’s state unit Narottam Mishra that Congress was to be weakened in the respective seats by joining the grand old party’s sitting MLAs to BJP during the polls. BJP has won Morena, Gwalior, Bhind, Rajgarh and Chhindwara seats where Congress was tough fighting the saffron party and was considered a strong position Congress there.
