After nine days of closed-door discussions, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finally revealed its choices for Chief Ministers in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan and left behind several former chief ministers like Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, and Raman Singh and picked Bhajan Lal Sharma, Vishnu Deo Sai, and Mohan Yadav as new CMs of states.
The Congress said on Wednesday that there are a few reasons why the new faces with strong RSS-ABVP ties who were chosen as new chief ministers of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, Bhajan Lal Sharma, Vishnu Deo Sai, and Mohan Yadav, have caused a stir. Manickam Tagore, a Congress MP, stated that although it is a BJP internal affair, the decisions show that there is no democracy within the party.
"These choices are completely unexpected because they feel that only Modi and Amit Shah's choices matter. The choice of the people, the MLAs does not matter. This is the peak of Amit Shah and Modi," the Congress MP said.
भाजपा किसको मुख्यमंत्री बनाये किसको नहीं यह उनका अपना मामला है लेकिन तीन राज्यों के निर्णयों को ऐतिहासिक बताना कहाँ तक सही है?

असलियत यह है कि:
▪️यह भाजपा के क्षेत्रीय क्षत्रपों का अंत है
▪️जो कोई भी PM मोदी के लिए चुनौती बन सकता है, उसको निपटाया जाएगा
▪️चुने हुए विधायक नहीं…
Congress party spokeswoman Supriya Shrinate shared a 5-point summary of the BJP's choices for chief minister:
"Well, the one who pushed people like Advani, Joshi, Sinha, and Shourie to the Marg Darshak Mandal - what a big thing is this for him?" she concluded.
