The BJP has played it safe in its candidate selection for the upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. In Madhya Pradesh, the party has fielded seven MPs, including three Union ministers. After initial speculation that veteran leaders would be denied tickets, only three ministers have been denied this time. In Rajasthan, the party initially signaled a major overhaul by fielding seven MPs, but in the second list, they chose state leaders over MPs. Former CM Vasundhara Raje's name was missing in the first list, causing fear among senior leaders.
