The displeasure of imposing leaders coming from other parties is also being felt in Madhya Pradesh. However, the party and the top leadership have consistently rejected this, claiming harmony exists in the party.

But all is not well in MP BJP. Many veteran leaders are dissatisfied and are on the path of rebellion. Deepak Joshi from Malwa region has already rebelled and joined Congress.

Displeasure of BJP workers continues

In view of the apprehensions of loss due to this displeasure, the party had sent 14 leaders to hold meetings with the disgruntled leaders and workers in different districts of the state. Meetings also took place and a round of discussions also went on, but the displeasure of the workers could not be removed.

Assembly elections are round the corner in MP and some other states and Lok Sabha elections are also to be held exactly one year later. In such a situation, BJP is making every possible effort to remove the displeasure of the workers and activate them. 

14 ministers faced defeat in Karnataka

Even in the 2018 assembly elections, many ministers of Madhya Pradesh government could not win.

Here in the organization too, hard work is visible only on the papers as there has not been any special effort from the organization to coordinate between the new and old BJP workers, which may have an impact on the coming assembly elections.
