Ujjain, India, December 11, 2023
Mohan Yadav is all set to take charge as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. The decision was reportedly taken at a BJP legislature party meeting on Monday. Yadav was formerly the higher education minister of the state. His political career began with his first election as an MLA in 2013.
Yadav's appointment as the new chief minister is seen as a surprise move, as he was not considered to be the frontrunner for the post. However, he is said to be close to the BJP's central leadership, and his appointment is seen as an attempt to consolidate the party's position in the state.
Yadav will face a number of challenges in his new role. The state is facing a severe financial crisis, and the BJP government has been accused of corruption and mismanagement. Yadav will also need to address the issue of unemployment and poverty, which are major problems in the state.
It remains to be seen how Yadav will perform as the new chief minister. However, his appointment is a sign that the BJP is serious about winning the next state assembly elections, which are due in 2023.
