FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE.
In the investigation, we did not find any credible news about Narottam Mishra being a rebel. Had it been so, it would have been one of the major news stories and would have been dominant everywhere.
Taking our investigation further, we found a tweet by Nai Dunia in which BJP national General Secretary Kailash Vijaywargiya dubbed all such claims as baseless. भाजपा नेता कैलाश विजयवर्गीय ने मध्य प्रदेश में नेतृत्व परिवर्तन की सूचनाओं को बताया अफवाह#MadhyaPradesh #Indore pic.twitter.com/kVQDg6qW0I

We also found a tweet by Narottam Mishra in which he also called such claims completely baseless, misleading and untrue. He further said that the Chief Minister of the state is, was, and will be Shivraj Singh Chouhan only.
मध्यप्रदेश में @BJP4MP सरकार और संगठन को लेकर #SocialMedia पर चल रही सभी तरह की खबरें पूरी तरह निराधार,भ्रामक और असत्य हैं ।
भाजपा @ChouhanShivraj जी और @vdsharmabjp जी के नेतृत्व में संगठित और एकजुट है।
शिवराज जी प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री थे,मुख्यमंत्री हैं और मुख्यमंत्री रहेंगे। pic.twitter.com/1Cm5fMDoXf— Dr Narottam Mishra (@drnarottammisra) June 7, 2021
Thus, it is evident from the above information that Narottam Mishra along with 30 other MLAs has not rebelled against CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the viral post being circulated is false.
