    Role of a Speaker in the State Assembly

    A Speaker is central to the functioning of any assembly whether its Lok Sabha or State Assembly and has wide ranging powers.

    An assembly speaker can suspend MLAs from its proceedings and has a final say whether a bill is money bill or not. Money bills can only be introduced in the lower house and does not need the consent of the upper house.

    Usually, the most senior or the most experienced leader is elected as the speaker of the Lok Sabha or the assembly.

  • Will Shivraj Singh Chouhan Get a Union Ministry soon?

    On 11 Dec 2023, Mohan Yadav, MLA from Ujjain Dakshin was designated as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh replacing Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The decision was taken in a meeting between elected BJP MLAs of the state and central party observers.

    This decision was made a day after Vishnu Deo Sai became the CM of Chhattisgarh.

    It is a tradition in Indian politics that if a sitting CM does not continue even when the party gets re-elected, they are given a central leadership role, preferably as a Union Minister.

    Possible Ministries for Shivraj Singh Chouhan

    The designation of an ex-CM as Union Minister had happened after Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal got his party re-elected in the 2021 Assam Assembly Elections. Later, Hemanta Biswa Sarma became the CM and Sonowal was sworn in as a Union Minister.

    We might witness the a Union Ministry role for Shivraj Singh Chauhan with my experience indicating a heavier ministry such as:

    • Ministry of AYUSH
    • Ministry of Communication
    • Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
    • Ministry of Steel
    • Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs

  • End Shivraj Era as Mohan Yadav (मोहन यादव) Becomes New Madhya Pradesh CM

    Mohan Yadav who was the former Higher Education Ministry in the Shivraj Singh’s government in Madhya Pradesh has been selected as the Chief Minister in a meeting of party members and elected BJP MLAs of Madhya Pradesh. He won the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections from Ujjain Dakshin for the third time.

    His designation as the Chief Minister by the BJP marks the end of 18 years of Shivraj Singh Chauhan who is fondly called as “mama” in the state.

    The decision comes after Vishnu Deo Sai was designated as Chhattisgarh CM.
