Madhya Pradesh can have a total of 35 ministers including the Chief Minister. Since the BJP has won a clear majority in the state, it doesn't need an ally and thus can expand the cabinet as per the party's wish.

On December 13, the era of former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan came to an end as BJP MLA Mohan Yadav took the oath as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. Former Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar is likely to be made the Speaker of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly.
