In Madhya Pradesh, the reports of differences between Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh are baseless. In fact, there is an amazing synergy between the two. Their 40-year  old political relationship reached a different level of maturity. Digvijay Singh was sure that he could field Kamal Nath against Scindia in 2017-18, but his government could not run for 5 years. Digvijay Singh is trying to place direct contact with party workers in all the districts. Digvijay is not in a mood to show any haste in launching his son at the state level. It is clear that Kamal Nath will be the face of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh.

Home Minister Narottam Mishra, who was the most active in toppling the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh, has been neglected in his own party during the visits of Chief Minister in Gwalior-Chambal region. The recent visits of Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Jyotiraditya Scindia have given rise to this suspicion. Narendra Singh Tomar was accompanying them during the visits, while the absence of Narottam Mishra was noticed. Scindia is trying to give more importance to Narendra Singh Tomar.   Neglecting Narottam Mishra can make BJP lose the Brahmin votes of Chambal region. 

Arun Yadav has achieved an important position in Congress politics at a very young age, but two-time MP, union minister and PCC president Arun Yadav did not get a place in the Congress Working Committee this time.  He was inducted as a special invitee in the Committee but was shown a way out in restructuring. During the tenure of Manmohan Singh, Arun Yadav was the Union Minister of State for Industry. This time the reason for his exit from CWC is believed to be the news of the disputed meeting of the Committee being leaked by him. However, Kamal Nath had also sidelined him.

Krishna Murari Moghe, the general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party is also sidelined in the party. In the meetings of the Crisis Management Committee, the union veteran Dr Nishant Khare and Krishna Murari Moghe had a beef with each other. He had publicized through some of the people living around him that Dr Khare had been shown the way out of the Crisis Management Committee. In a meeting held at the Union office 15 days ago, the question arose on the role of BJP leaders during the time of the pandemic. It was decided that Moghe will no longer be a part of the Committee. 

How important caste equations are during the elections, it can be seen in Morena. The 4 seats are Morena, Jaura, Dimani and Sumavali. In these regions, Thakur and Gurjar are to be given a seat. Even if a Brahmin is fielded to the ground from the remaining seat or Thakur is given an opportunity, it is not even the big luminaries of the Congress. They are also concerned that the Gurjar should not get offended. This equation has kept the prospects of Pankaj Upadhyay's candidature alive in Jhaura, leaving Indore. However, Pankaj's uncle and former Delhi MLA Balveer Dandotia's claim for the seat is also strong.

The fate of IAS officer Radheshyam Julania has changed after the struggle. The initiative to improve the standard of education in government schools in Madhya Pradesh and to strengthen the online education system is showing a collapse in the first round. Rashmi Shami, Principal Secretary, Department of School Education has put the brakes to the classes organised by the board and as a result, the classes that the board was starting on Doordarshan have been stopped. The matter is being brought to the fore as an encroachment on jurisdiction but the reality is something else. Julania is currently silent but with the hope that it will be successful there too. 

The fast pace of work in jail departments has shocked everyone. However, this style of DG Sanjay Chaudhary, the head of this department, is not new.  Wherever he lives, his style remains the same. But this time the boom is much higher and is also being linked to his retirement at the beginning of next year. However, IAS and IPS officers are freed from the passionate work when their retirement time comes to a close, but Chaudhary's style is somewhat different. 

If all goes well, the final decision on the six senior interpreters from Madhya Pradesh for the post of High Court judge will be taken at the end of October or early November. This includes the names of former additional solicitor general from Indore Manoj Dwivedi of RSS and former Assistant Solicitor General Vivek Sharan. Besides these, there are names from Jabalpur and Gwalior also. The most shocking name is Shashank Shekhar, who was the Solicitor general during the Congress. The name of the principal registrar of Indore Bench of the High Court Anil Verma has also proceeded for the post of High Court judge.

After the Sandeep Bhuria withdraws from the post of Assistant Transport Commissioner several police officers are now eyeing this post. It is to be seen who gets this post, Shashikant Shukla or Bittu Sehgal.
