Mama returns
The BJP bets on Shivraj Singh Chouhan again to navigate through a minefield of problems in this crucial state.
On December 13, 2018, following the narrow assembly election win of the Congress over the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, then party president Rahul Gandhi tweeted a picture of himself with the two chief ministerial contenders, Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia. Alongside ran a quote from Leo Tolstoy: The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.' Nath and Scindia paid no heed to the advice, their turf war culminating in the latter's coup that pulled down the 15-month-old Congress government in MP. If anybody chose to remain patient, and was rewarded, it was Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
