BJP's Shivraj Singh Chauhan takes oath as MP CM for fourth time
Bhopal/IBNS: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Shivraj Singh Chauhan was on Monday sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan took oath for the fourth time as Chief Minister after the Kamal Nath-led Congress government fell short of a majority.
Kamal Nath resigned on Thursday just before the Supreme Court's deadline to prove his majority in a trust vote was about to end.
The Congress government in the state fell into crisis after 22 rebel MLAs had submitted their resignations to Governor Lalji Tandon.

All the MLAs are the loyalists of Jyotiraditya Scindia who resigned as the Congress member earlier this month.
The rift in Madhya Pradesh Congress started first with its then senior leader Scindia speaking against his own government.
