Background

Main article: 2020 Madhya Pradesh political crisis

Kamal Nath won the previous state assembly election but in March 2020, Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 22 Congress MLAs, defected to the BJP. This resulted in the toppling of the Kamal Nath ministry and the ascendancy of Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government.
