Shivraj Singh Chauhan will take over from Babulal Gaur as
the Chief Minister of the State, while senior party leader
Uma Bharati has been appointed National General Secretary
of the BJP. The decisions were taken at a meeting of the
BJP Central Parliamentary Board here today, Party General
Secretary Arun Jaitley said, adding that Chief Minister

a series of discussion between senior party leaders with
the state unit leaders, the parliamentary board of the party
again met in the evening and decided to replace Gaur with
