He, however, left the Congress and joined the BJP in March this year. Following his footsteps, over 20 Congress leaders quit the party, bringing down the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh.
Presently, the BJP has 107 MLAs in 230-member House. By winning 16-18 seats, the ruling party could easily cross the majority mark required to form the government.

The counting of votes will happen on Tuesday (November 10).
