By cutting tickets of 8 MLAs in its first list of 30 candidates, it has said that Congress will not compromise. In the very first list, Congress cut 11 percent of its MLAs. In the present government, all the ministers and the Speaker of the Assembly have been given a chance again from the same seats. That means Congress has repeated the entire ‘government’.
In the list, candidates were fielded on 19 out of 20 seats in the first phase. In this, candidates have been fielded on 11 out of 12 seats of Bastar division and all 8 seats of Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha. Voting is to be held in the first phase on these seats only. There is no name in this which is shocking. Congress has surprised only by fielding Girish Dewangan from Rajnandgaon. In the very first list, tickets have been given to 3 Sahus. That means there is 10 percent interference. BJP has fielded 10 out of 85 Sahus. That is, at present BJP has fielded 11 percent Sahu candidates and Congress has fielded 10 percent Sahu candidates. Why were the tickets of these 8 MLAs cut?
Chitrakot
Rajman Benjamin’s ticket from Chitrakote was cut and given to MP Deepak Baij. Deepak Baij is also the President of State Congress Committee. PCC Chief Deepak Baij has been contesting elections from here and winning. There was no doubt on this seat. Therefore, it was considered certain that Rajman’s ticket would be cut.
Dantewada
The ticket of the MLA from Dantewada has definitely been cut, but the candidate belongs to the same family. Devati Karma, wife of late Mahendra Karma, was the MLA from here. In 2018, when mother Devati Karma got the ticket, her son Chhabindra Karma rebelled. Independents had agreed to contest, but withdrew their nominations. The effect of this rebellion was that the party lost the elections. Bhima Mandavi of BJP became MLA. In 2019, he was murdered by Naxalites and Devati Karma again won the by-election. Congress did not want to take the risk of rebellion this time.
kanker
Former IAS officer Shishupal Sori’s ticket has been canceled from Kanker. This time Shankar Dhruva has been made the candidate. Actually, Shishupal Sori is very old, but his popularity remains intact. He is currently 77 years old. Age was the main reason for his ticket being canceled.
Antagarh
People in Antagarh were angry with MLA Anoop Nag because last time he had promised that if the government is formed and an MLA is made, Antagarh will definitely become a district. The government also came with a huge majority and they also won, but Antagarh was not included in all the new districts formed. For this reason there was resentment among the public.
pandaria
It was decided to give tickets only to OBC community from Pandariya. Arjun Tiwari’s name had also emerged rapidly on this seat, he also did not get a chance. From here, Mamta Chandrakar’s ticket has been canceled and Neelkanth Chandravanshi has been given a chance. It was the Congressmen who had opened a front against Mamta Chandrakar. There were complaints against her that she neglected party workers. On the other hand, MLA and Minister Mohd. from Kawardha, the adjacent seat of Neelkanth. Very close to Akbar. Was also the District President of Kawardha. At this time, there was a need for such a candidate who could cater to the OBC community and also reduce the impact of communal tension on the surrounding seats. When tensions were spreading in Kawardha, Neelkanth asked Mohd. Took charge with Akbar.
itching
The ticket of Channi Sahu has been canceled from Khujji. Chhani Sahu is considered close to TS Singhdev. Nawaz Khan, close to Bhupesh Baghel, was also claiming the ticket from here. There was a confrontation. Bholaram Sahu was MLA before this. His ticket was cut and he was given a chance from Lok Sabha, but he lost. Bholaram Sahu was once again given a chance to stay away from any kind of controversy.
Dongargarh
Bhuvneshwar Baghel’s ticket has been canceled from Dongargarh and Harshita Swami Baghel has been given the ticket. There was a complaint of lack of activity regarding Bhubaneswar. The results for him in all Congress surveys were negative. The response regarding District Panchayat President Harshita was good. Hence the ticket to Bhubaneswar was cancelled.
Navagarh
Gurudayal Banjare’s ticket was canceled from Navagarh and Rudra Guru was given the ticket. Rudra Guru Kumar has changed his assembly seat for the third time. Before this he had contested elections from Arang and Ahiwara. He is a social religion guru. Relations with the high command of the state were not good, but he is a religious leader and has a good influence in the society, hence he could not be ignored. The party had to respect Rudraguru Kumar’s desire to contest from Navagarh and Gurudayal Banjare’s ticket was canceled
The entire government is in the first list
Congress has fielded the entire ‘government’ in the first list. In these, the names of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel along with all the ministers and the Assembly Speaker are included in the list. In its first list, BJP had fielded 21 weakest candidates, while Congress has announced its strongest candidates in its first list.
Outside candidate again in Rajnandgaon
BJP’s path may become easier by once again fielding an external candidate in Rajnandgaon. Girish Devangan has been given the ticket here. Self. The name of Uday Mudaliar’s son Jitendra Mudaliar was in the news, but the name of Girish Dewangan came up. Last time Congress had given ticket to Karuna Shukla. She was the niece of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and had been the national president of BJP Mahila Morcha. Joined Congress and was made to contest from Rajnandgaon. He was also accused of being an outsider. By the way, Congress also has the same argument that Dr. Raman Singh is also an outsider. Why don’t they fight from Kawardha. It is possible that some rebel candidates from Congress may contest in Rajnandgaon. One MP may also get a chance in the first list.
BJP has given opportunity to 4 MPs out of 85 candidates released so far. BJP has given tickets to MPs Vijay Baghel, Gomti Sai, Arun Sao and Renuka Singh. Congress has given a chance to one MP in the first list. Chitrakote MP Deepak Baij has been made the candidate. Currently, candidates are yet to come for 5 seats of BJP and 60 seats of Congress. There is a ruckus in BJP to field another MP Santosh Pandey.
Reliance on veterans in Kawardha and Saja
There has been a splash of communalism in Kawardha and Saja. Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded candidates here accordingly. Ishwar Sahu, whose son was murdered, has been fielded from Biranpur in Saja and Vijay Sharma from Kawardha. Here, Congress has given chance only to its veteran ministers Ravindra Choubey from Saja and Mohammad Akbar from Kawardha. Mohammad Akbar may be from the Muslim community, but last time he got the maximum number of votes in the entire state. The Chaubey family has a tradition of winning from Saja.
Why is Congress’s first list in Navratri?
Somewhere in Chhattisgarh, discussions continued regarding Lord Ram, Hindu-Muslim, religious customs and traditions. People kept discussing that Bharatiya Janata Party represents Hindutva, Dharma-karma and saffron, but issued tickets in Pitru Paksha. It is generally believed that big works are not done during Pitru Paksha. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, TS Singhdev had already been saying that tickets will come only on the auspicious day of Navratri. It doesn’t have much impact, but it also gives a small message that Congress is a party that follows religious rituals, religious traditions, customs and traditions.
9 new faces out of 30
Congress has fielded 9 new faces in the first list. Eight seats have already been discussed above, where tickets of MLAs have been cut, while one face is that of Girish Dewangan, who has been fielded against Dr. Raman Singh in Rajnandgaon.
Why is Tekam, who was a minister, not in this list?
Premsai Singh Tekam, MLA from Pratappur, who was Education Minister, his name is not included in this list. One tribal minister was removed and another tribal was made the minister and one tribal was removed from the PCC Chief and another tribal was made the PCC Chief. Therefore, Congress did not want to take risk on tribal seats. The PCC Chief was also a tribal, the minister was also a tribal and due to the area’s resentment towards Prem Sai Singh Tekam, he was also sidelined. At that time, after his resignation, he had given a statement – Resignation is not given, it is taken.
The issue of CD scandal will rise in color
As soon as the first list of Congress came out, BJP’s National Vice President Saroj came forward and while taking the press conference on behalf of the party, directly said that Bhupesh Baghel is linked to the obscene CD scandal. Along with this, he made some more allegations, which he has been making, but the way he emphasized on the CD scandal, it can be assumed that the pictures of the CD of the last election are going to go on mobile this time too.
