The elevation of Mohan Yadav as Madhya Pradesh chief minister is a psychological blow to the SP and RJD which took the Yadav vote for granted. Yadav’s appointment is also a fitting repartee to the flopped caste census pitch. The Yadav Vs Non-Yadav faultlines that BJP deftly exploited in UP and Bihar may be dropped for a dynasts versus the rest approach

Congress should have sacked Kamal Nath as PCC president for the Jyotiraditya Scindia fiasco that lost the party the state.

Assembly Election Results 2023: It was essential for Congress to put itself on the road to recovery ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
