Bhopal: Speculation of cabinet expansion in Madhya Pradesh has intensified once again. This time the speculation has been received after the meeting of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and BJP MP Jyotiraditya Scindia in Bhopal on Monday. Jyotiraditya Scindia, who arrived in Bhopal after the results of the by-election, had earlier postponed a meeting with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, but on Monday, the two leaders sat together at CM House before joining the wedding ceremony in Orchha. Not only this, after the meeting at CM House, the two leaders left together on a special plane to Orchha for the wedding ceremony of the daughter of Union Minister Prahlad Patel.
Many political meanings are now being made about this meeting. There is speculation that there has been a discussion between Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Jyotiraditya Scindia about possible cabinet expansion and appointment in the corporates. However, while talking to the media at Bhopal airport on Monday morning, Jyotiraditya Scindia denied having a conversation with the cabinet during the meeting and said that this is the prerogative of the CM. The central leadership and CM will decide on this.
CM went to Delhi
The special thing is that after the meeting of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Chief Minister left for Delhi only on Monday evening. In Delhi, the Chief Minister is proposed to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central leadership. It is believed that after talks at the cabinet-level at the Bhopal level, there is now a churn at the Delhi level regarding the names of the cabinet. This is the reason why the Chief Minister has left for Delhi after meeting Scindia.
Who are contenders?
Everyone’s eyes are on who will get a place in the cabinet and who will be left out. Two ministers of the Scindia camp who had to resign due to no election on time, Tulsi Silavat and Govind Rajput have both won the elections, but still have not sworn in as ministers again. At the same time, Scindia camp ministers Girraj Dandotia and Imrati Devi have lost the election. In such a situation, when they will be given the responsibility of replacing the minister’s post on the corporation board, they are also eyeing it. It is believed that Scindia is running from the Chief Minister to the Sangh office only with all these.
