Mohan Yadav, who is the MLA of Ujjain South, has been chosen to lead the state of Madhya Pradesh as the next Chief Minister. The announcement was made today after ending a week-long suspense.
Mohan Yadav is a political lightweight. Why has he been chosen for the top post? The speculation is that Jyotiraditya Scindia didn't want a heavyweight like Prahlad Patel to come to power, as it would make it impossible for him to become the CM for the next five years.
Does this mean that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have fielded Mohan Yadav as a stop-gap arrangement? Will he be replaced after next year's Lok Sabha elections? Unlikely, given their style and the margin of victory pulled off by the BJP.
The transition, however, has so far been peaceful and without any rebellion. "The media was talking about a huge infighting within the BJP, adding that Shivraj Singh Chouhan will revolt if the party changes its CM. But a united BJP welcomes the new CM of Madhya Pradesh today. Chouhan himself is standing with the new CM. The BJP has a selfless party of cadres," a Netizen wrote.
