5.Karuna Shukla
Karuna Shukla may have an outside chance of becoming CM if she manages to defeat current CM Raman Singh. The niece of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee has joined Congress from BJP recently. However, she has been vocal in her criticism of the Raman Singh government and had also accused the BJP of politicising Vajpayee's death by carrying his ashes across India for electoral gains in 2019. She may emerge as contender for the CM post.
