Union Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday resigned as the MLA from his traditional Budhni seat in Madhya Pradesh, days after getting elected to the Lok Sabha from Vidisha in the state.

It hasn't even been two weeks since the Lok Sabha polls concluded, after which PM Narendra Modi took the oath of office for a third consecutive term, but the BJP has already begun preparing for Assembly polls later this year.

In Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Manipur, and Rajasthan, where the BJP registered most of its seat losses, its drop in votes was at least five percentage points.
