It is to be noted here that 15 days after the BJP crushed the Congress to win Madhya Pradesh, Yadav was chosen as the party's parliamentary leader. 

In an effort to defuse tensions before the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the BJP has nominated Rajesh Shukla and Jagdish Devda as deputy chief ministers.

Concurrently, both the deputy Chief minister and the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, expressed their congratulations.

Hearty congratulations to hardworking fellow Shri @DrMohanYadav51 ji on being nominated as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh in the BJP Legislative Party meeting. I am confident ‍ that under the able guidance of respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, you will take Madhya Pradesh to new heights of progress and development and will create new records in the field of public welfare. Many congratulations and best wishes for this new responsibility!” Shivraj Singh Chouhan posted on X.
