After the BJP swept the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress party is demotivated to the extent of some of its leaders contemplating to join the BJP. Party leaders blame the "sense of superiority" of Kamal Nath, who had taken it for granted that he would uproot the BJP from the state. It was apparently because of this that the Congress cadre was not functioning to its full potential.

A leader close to the leadership said, "All those ten people with whom Kamal Nath would discuss everything and strategize about the elections, have lost their own seats. This shows what kind of preparations they were doing for the whole Congress team.
