The Bharatiya Janata Party is navigating a split between two influential factions, dubbed 'Mama' and 'Chacha', as it seeks to consolidate its position in Madhya Pradesh.
The BJP’s internal dynamics in Madhya Pradesh have intensified after the resignation of a senior leader.
The party is now split between two camps, informally known as "Mama" and "Chacha", representing different regional power bases.
Party officials say they are working to reconcile differences and present a united front ahead of the upcoming elections.
Analysts note that the split could affect BJP’s vote share in the state, but the party remains the largest in the assembly.
