As and when the expansion takes place, the Chief Minister is likely to remove some ministers
to accommodate allies supporting the government and disgruntled party MLAs. In the 230-

member Assembly, the Congress has 114 MLAs. The BJP tally has come down to 108 after
Jhabua MLA G S Damor was elected to Lok Sabha.

On Wednesday, Pradyumna Singh Tomar and Sukhdev Panse, who owe allegiance to Scindia
and Nath, respectively, took on each other. Tomar expressed anger at not being allowed to
make his point when Panse tried to stop him from speaking. At least two ministers each from
both camps also joined in, forcing the Chief Minister to intervene.

Despite repeated attempts, neither Tomar nor Panse were available for comment. While the
ruling party tried to play it down as a difference of opinion between ministers, sources said
“everything is not well” in the government.

Ministers of the Scindia camp, it is learnt, are unhappy because o cials don’t give them
enough importance. Tomar and Umang Singhar, another minister from the Scindia camp,
vented their anger against o cials on Thursday when they travelled to Gwalior.
