The Congress in Madhya Pradesh seems to be in disarray, with disgruntled ticket aspirants, intra-party fighting, and accusations about a botched up poll campaign. The party has changed seven candidates in the poll-bound state, and there is speculation about more changes on the way.
Outside the office of the Pradesh Congress Committee in Bhopal, party workers burnt down the effigies of former chief minister Digvijaya Singh and his son Jaivardhan Singh last week. There were protests outside state Congress chief Kamal Nath’s house as well, apart from several constituencies in Morena, Datia, Mandsaur, and Shujalpur.
