Key Points
One of the primary poll issues in the Madhya Pradesh election is BJP's move to topple the 15-month old Kamal Nath-led Congress government in March 2020 with the help of Jyotiraditya Scindia, who defected with 22 MLAs, including six ministers..
Its impact is visible also within the BJP as its old loyalists are in a constant tussle with Scindia's supporters in several constituencies on ticket distribution and running the election campaign...

Shivraj Singh Chouhan also draws flak as voters in some pockets are of the view that he gave his ministers and government officials a free hand while trying to hang on to his post..
