Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh):Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other senior BJP leaders met on Friday to discuss yet-to-be-announced by-elections to 24 Assembly seats in the state.

"We just talked about the by-polls. It was an initial dialogue amongst us," a senior BJP leader said.
By-elections were necessitated following the death of two sitting MLAs and resignations of 22 MLAs, mostly from Jyotiraditya Scindia's camp, which led to the Congress government's fall in March.
The BJP and Congress have 107 and 92 MLAs, respectively, in the MP assembly. Two BSP MLAs, one SP legislator and two Independents are also supporting the BJP government.
