Former Chief Minister Kamal Nath, now Madhya Pradesh Congress chief, is reportedly under pressure to step down after the party's significant defeat in the state elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 163 seats out of 230, more than double the Congress's 66 seats. Despite anticipating anti-incumbency against the BJP, the Congress campaign lacked impact. Nath's decision to deny committed seats to ally Samajwadi Party further strained relations within the alliance. The defeat raises questions about the Congress strategy for the upcoming general elections against the BJP and has already shown signs of strained relationship among the INDIA bloc.
