A sitting BJP legislator from Madhya Pradesh's Satna district, Narayan Tripathi, in a letter to BJP’s national president JP Nadda has sought a complete revamp of the Madhya Pradesh government as well as the party's state unit on the lines of neighbouring Gujarat. In his letter to Nadda, Tripathi, while congratulating the party for the phenomenal victory in Gujarat, said, “Small workers like myself who are party's well-wishers and want the party to form the government again in Madhya Pradesh request for a total change in the government and organisation. so that anti-incumbency is settled and a victory similar to Gujarat can be achieved in MP.” In Gujarat, the BJP had replaced the then CM Vijay Rupani along with his entire set of ministers last year. In the recent Assembly elections, the BJP won a record 156 seats in the 182-member House. The BJP replaced 45 MLAs as candidates and all of them, barring two, won. Speaking to The Indian Express, Tripathi said, “I have been a sitting MLA since 2003, and since 2013, I am in the BJP. I understand Madhya Pradesh's politics. Any government that stays for too long, there is anti-incumbency. This government has been in power since 2003 and one can feel the anti-incumbency. Not everything is alright within the state unit too.”
