In March 2020, 22 Congress MLAs resigned from the assembly, and defected to Bharatiya Janata Party along with Jyotiraditya Scindia,[7] resulting in the collapse of the state government and resignation by Chief Minister Kamal Nath.[8] Subsequently BJP formed the state government, with Shivraj Singh Chouhan becoming Chief Minister.[9] Most of the defected MLAs got re-elected on BJP symbol in the by-election, thus enabling full majority to BJP government.
