In a surprising twist, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unveiled its unconventional picks for the chief ministership in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The swearing-in ceremony of Mohan Yadav and Vishnu Deo Sai is scheduled for Wednesday, with Prime Minister Modi and other senior BJP leaders in attendance. The unexpected selections have ignited a wave of speculation over the composition of their respective cabinets.
Mohan Yadav: A Leader Beyond Expectations
At 58 years old, Mohan Yadav, a three-time MLA and notable OBC leader, has defied all calculations to emerge as the new chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. With a close association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and an impressive educational background, including an LLB, MBA, and PhD, Yadav served as the higher education minister in Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s cabinet. The announcement also revealed Jagdish Devda and Rajendra Shukla as Yadav’s deputies, with Narendra Singh Tomar set to take the role of Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker.
Expressing confidence in the leadership of the new chief minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the outgoing CM, stated, “I would rather die than go and ask something for myself. I won’t go to Delhi.”
Vishnu Deo Sai: Breaking New Ground in Chhattisgarh
In Chhattisgarh, 59-year-old Vishnu Deo Sai is set to make history as the first tribal chief minister of the state. A former Union minister and MP, Sai’s selection surprised many, given his low public profile. Despite lacking the expected frontrunner status, Sai brings years of experience in electoral politics and grassroots-level work. Deputies Vijay Sharma and Arun Sao, along with former chief minister Raman Singh as the Speaker, complete the leadership lineup in Chhattisgarh.
The BJP’s decision to break away from anticipated choices has kept political circles buzzing for the past week. As the two states prepare for the swearing-in events, all eyes are now on the composition of the new cabinets, promising an era of change and unpredictability in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh politics.
