Shivraj Singh will last as the CM for a maximum of one year .If Uma Bharti gets enough seats to armtwist the BJP, the least she would demand is a new CM. Even otherwise, once the elections have been won , the aspirations of those grassroot leaders
who see Shivraj as a paratrooper will be aroused ( for, they'll view it as the last chance to grab the top spot). Pretenders include Kailash Vijayvargiya , Narendra Singh Tomar , Anup Mishra , Gauri Shankar Shejwar, Himmat Kothari with Jayant Mallaya being the dark horse.
