As reported by IANS, new government will take charge on the first day of Navratri – which will begin on March 25.
There are speculations that Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar are the front runners for the post.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath announced his resignation on Friday ahead of the scheduled floor test which was supposed to take place at 5pm.
The resignation of 22 MLAs, including six ministers loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia, had plunged the Congress-ruled government into crisis. After the speaker accepted the resignation of 16 more MLAs on Thursday night, the strength of Congress has come down to 92 from 108. The strength of the House has also been reduced to 206.
