2023 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
The Madhya Pradesh assembly polls are scheduled to be held later this year.
In 2018, after the state legislative polls, the Congress formed the government with Kamal Nath becoming the chief minister.
In 2020, 22 MLAs along with Jyotiraditya Scindia, resigned from the Congress, thus leading to a political pandemonium in the state. As a result, the Congress government collapsed in the state, and the BJP came to power with Shivraj Singh Chouhan as the chief minister.
