In view of few getting tickets and other missing it, conflict is arising in the party cadre. They are trying to teach each other a lesson, weakening the party.

Madhya Pradesh Has BJP Government For Almost Two Decades
Political experts say that Madhya Pradesh has BJP government for almost two decades and whenever any party is in power for such a long time, it faces anti-incumbency.
The BJP led Madhya Pradesh government is facing anti-incumbency and the saffron party is facing bickerings, which are not very easy to deal with.
The organisation is busy strngthening itself right from the grassroots level while the state government is announcing various welfare schemes and measures to woo electorate. However, due to bickerings in the party, the electorate are shaping a different kind of perspective.
