M.P. bypolls acid test for Shivraj Chouhan

Chief Minister’s ability to beat anti-incumbency at stake in 3 Assembly, 1 Lok Sabha seat
Issues outside Madhya Pradesh — violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, rising prices and food inflation, and fertiliser shortage — are likely to impact by-elections in three Assembly seats and one Lok Sabha seat in the State, scheduled for October 30.
A win in two or more seats will consolidate the position of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the only BJP Chief Minister from the Vajpayee-Advani era still in power. A victory will also silence critics who have been expecting the central leadership of effect a reshuffle on the lines of Uttarakhand, Karnataka and Gujarat.
