Internal discord erupts in Madhya Pradesh BJP
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh BJP is facing significant internal turmoil as several MLAs publicly express their dissatisfaction, putting the ruling government under pressure.
Multiple BJP legislators have voiced their grievances, with some conducting secret meetings while others have taken to social media to air their concerns.
Six prominent BJP MLAs, including three former ministers, have become the focal point of the controversy, raising serious questions about the government and party leadership.
On Thursday night, Dioari MLA Bihari Pateriya submitted his resignation to the Speaker, citing police inaction in a case involving a snake bite as a reason. The MLA later revoked his resignation. The day before, Maughanj MLA Pradeep Patel stirred controversy by visiting the police superintendent’s office, alleging that the police were protecting liquor mafia and claiming that goons had attempted to kill him. Patel’s accusations have further intensified the unrest within the BJP.
In another development, a BJP MLA from Nariyavali has also taken action against illegal liquor trafficking and gambling occurring in his constituency. Frustrated by the police's lack of response to his directives, he personally visited the police station to demand action.
While the BJP has described these incidents as part of routine internal discussions, the opposition Congress party quickly responded by alleging that these events indicate a significant internal crisis within the ruling BJP.

Vijay calls on TN Governor, stakes claim to form govt
Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay on Wednesday met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government in the state, two days after his party emerged as the single largest party but was short of a simple majority.
The TVK founder met the Governor at 3.15 pm following an invitation from the Lok Bhavan. He was accompanied by party leaders, including "Bussy" N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, C T Nirmal Kumar and others during the meeting.
Vijay met the Governor hours after the Congress party declared support and following a meeting between the TVK chief and Congress leaders here. While the TVK appears keen on securing support from the VCK and the two Left parties, who continue to be part of the DMK-led alliance, they have so far not given any positive signals.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member strong Tamil Nadu Assembly in the recently held elections. 118 is the majority mark to form the government.
Vijay is likely to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7, according to party sources.
The DMK won 59, AIADMK 47, Congress 5, PMK 4, IUML 2, CPI 2, VCK 2, CPI-M 2. BJP, DMDK and AMMK won 1 seat each.
