BJP's 'explosive' fifth list in Madhya Pradesh may drop 25-30 sitting MLAs

The BJP's fifth list for the Madhya Pradesh elections is expected to drop 25-30 sitting MLAs, according to sources. The party has announced candidates for 136 assembly seats and will finalize the remaining 94 candidates in a meeting of the Central Election Committee on Sunday. Many "non-performing" MLAs may be dropped in the final list, as surveys have shown that people in their constituencies are not happy with their work. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is also facing backlash from voters in his constituency, Budhni, who feel he is being sidelined by the party leadership.
