Congress lost the elections in Chhattisgarh. BJP is forming the government with a clear majority. Now many types of questions might be arising in people’s minds. Why did Congress lose? What did BJP do that it got so many seats? Who will be the Chief Minister now? What will be the form of the new government? We are trying to answer all these questions in our analysis.
Question 1. Congress got 71 seats in 2018. Why did you lose so badly this time?
Answer: Bhupesh government only relied on loan waiver of farmers. BJP also promised to give the price of paddy to the farmers and also announced bonus, but the government kept repeating the loan waiver again and again. Corruption in the government also had an impact. Just before the elections, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was accused of taking Rs 508 crore from Mahadev Satta App. BJP made PSC scam a big issue. Big leaders came under the scanner of ED, but the government remained confident that the government would be formed. There was anti-incumbency against the government. This is the reason why 9 ministers of the government lost.
Question 2. …So did BJP fight a big fight against the big government?
no answer. BJP did not contest this election. Till exactly two months ago, BJP was not in any fight anywhere. The state organization did not raise major issues the way it should have been raised. Dharnas and demonstrations were missing for five years. Exactly a year ago, due to social equations, the state president was changed, but even within a year no major movement was formed. Yes, the formula of caste and social equation adopted by BJP worked and led to natural anti-incumbency victory against the government. Question 3. Who can be given the credit for BJP’s victory?
Answer: Certainly the credit for BJP’s victory in Chhattisgarh can be given to Amit Shah, Om Mathur and Mansukh Mandaviya. All three leaders kept visiting the state continuously. Keep the organization churning. The formula for distributing tickets was decided according to social equations. The effect of this was that by fielding weak candidates at one or two seats, we got the support of that community on the remaining seats. Like in Kasdol, Dhaniram Dhiwar was fielded from Dhiwar community, who lost, but this community got support in the entire state. This happened in many seats.
Question 4. What was the biggest reason for BJP’s victory?
Answer: BJP distributed tickets according to social and caste equations. Maintained coordination between new and old candidates. Fielded 47 new candidates, out of which 30 won. Sahu community appeared one-sided in favor of BJP. About 10 tickets were given from Sahu community. Despite this, the biggest reason for this is the BJP’s manifesto coming at the last moment. Congress had won the farmers’ favor through loan waiver and paddy purchase. BJP promised to buy 21 quintals of paddy outright. Mahatari’s announcement of giving Rs 12,000 to women proved to be a trump card.
Question 5. But Congress had also announced to give Rs 15 thousand? Did it not work?
Answer: BJP came up with Mahtari Vandan scheme in its first manifesto. Immediately after this announcement, Bharatiya Janata Party workers reached every house carrying its form. The effect of this form was that women started waiting for this form. Panicked, Congress announced to give Rs 15,000 annually on 12th November, the day of Diwali. Voting was on 17 November. The festival lasts for almost a week in the villages. During this time he was not concerned with the announcements of Congress-BJP. That means Congress could not reach 15 thousand people. Women approved 12 thousand votes of BJP. The fact that the voting percentage of women was more than that of men is also pointing in this direction. Question 6. If three main reasons are counted for the BJP coming to power and Congress leaving, then what would they be?
Answer: BJP won due to Mahtari Vandan Yojana, lump sum bonus of money-paddy to farmers and distribution of tickets under social equation. Congress lost due to factionalism, anti-incumbency and overconfidence on loan waiver.
Question 7. Who will be the Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition? What will Bhupesh Baghel do now?
Answer: As far as the Chief Minister is concerned, the first name in BJP will be Dr. Raman Singh. Along with this, Vishnudev Sai and Ramvichar Netam are also big faces as tribal faces. If we talk about OBC faces, then State President Arun Saav and Dharamlal Kaushik are big faces. It is possible that the Sangh may also send one of its names. Here, the names of Charandas Mahant and Bhupesh Baghel are in the first queue for Leader of Opposition. Congress has a national face as Bhupesh Baghel is an OBC, so it is possible that Congress may want to capitalize on this in the Lok Sabha elections.
Question 8. Who should take responsibility for the defeat in Congress?
Answer: The entire election was fought on the face of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Time and again the fight was presented as Bhupesh versus Modi. But just before the elections, there was some tension regarding the distribution of seats. TS Singhdev was also made a face in the competition. Public expectations were divided. Obviously, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Deputy Chief Minister TS Singhdev will have to take the responsibility of this defeat of Congress.
Question: 9. Who should be given credit for BJP’s victory?
answer. The reason for BJP’s victory is not because of any local face. The glory of this victory will be directly on the head of Amit Shah. The way Om Mathur and Mansukh Mandaviya brainstormed the party and prepared candidates, the result is that BJP got such a big victory. For the first time, this happened that BJP released the list for 15 seats in August, a month before the release of the manifesto. This was the preparation of BJP, whereas Congress took a long time in fielding its candidates.
Question: 10. From where did BJP get lead?
Answer: Since 2003
Answer: BJP won due to Mahtari Vandan Yojana, lump sum bonus of money-paddy to farmers and distribution of tickets under social equation. Congress lost due to factionalism, anti-incumbency and overconfidence on loan waiver.
Question 7. Who will be the Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition? What will Bhupesh Baghel do now?
Answer: As far as the Chief Minister is concerned, the first name in BJP will be Dr. Raman Singh. Along with this, Vishnudev Sai and Ramvichar Netam are also big faces as tribal faces. If we talk about OBC faces, then State President Arun Saav and Dharamlal Kaushik are big faces. It is possible that the Sangh may also send one of its names.

This was the preparation of BJP, whereas Congress took a long time in fielding its candidates.
Question: 10. From where did BJP get lead?
Answer: In all the assembly elections held from 2003 to 2023, except the trend of 2013, one thing was common in all of them that the voting from Bastar and Surguja was one-sided. This trend is visible this time also. BJP won 8 out of 12 seats in Bastar, while 14 out of 14 seats went to BJP’s account in Surguja. The result of Surguja is shocking because last time Congress had 14 out of 14 seats. Deputy CM TS Singhdev himself failed to save his seat. Congress had hopes from the plains because there are more farmers here, but here too the Congress got limited. The public was more attracted to the paddy bonus than the loan waiver
Question 11. Why did 9 veteran ministers lose?
TS Singhdev could not get even a single seat
TS Singhdev, who was the face of the Chief Minister last time, won 14 out of 14 seats from Surguja. He was not made CM. The party suffered losses in the struggle for power. The work was not done. This time the situation is that the public has given 14 out of 14 seats to BJP this time. Brand new candidate Rajesh Aggarwal defeated veteran TS Singhdev.
Amarjit Bhagat’s comments on soldier cost him dearly
20 year old MLA and minister Amarjit Singh Bhagat was defeated by Ramkumar Toppo, who was contesting the elections after resigning from the army. Commenting on the army, Amarjeet Bhagat had said that army people look fine on the border, they have no use in politics. In the area it was also seen as an insult to the army. Ultimately the public defeated him and the army personnel won.
The effect of communal polarization against Mohammad Akbar was visible
In Kawardha also, BJP fielded a new candidate Vijay Sharma against veteran minister Mohammad Akbar. Vijay Sharma had raised the flag of BJP and Hindutva during the communal tension in Kawardha. Despite being simple and easy-going, Mohammad Akbar became a victim of communal polarization.
Ravindra Choubey was defeated by the poorest person
Communal violence took place in Biranpur of Saja. BJP has fielded the father of Bhuvaneshwar Sahu, who was killed in the violence here. This decision was of Amit Shah personally. This decision proved to be so correct that the 8-time MLA and veteran minister, whose father and mother were also MLAs, was defeated. Ishwar Sahu kept campaigning on a bicycle wearing torn slippers and torn clothes and kept narrating his pain. His condolences reached the people.
Jaisingh Aggarwal’s perception drowned him
An atmosphere was created against Korba Minister Jaisingh Aggarwal. The presence of land mafia around them was a heavy burden for them. He did not have very good relations with his own government. It is said that this time Korba was also among the most expensive seats in the state. In front of him, BJP has fielded Lakhanlal Dewangan, who is a simple and grassroots leader. Here people voted on the perception of arrogance and spontaneity of power.
Relatives fell heavily on Tamradhwaj Sahu
Tamradhwaj Sahu, a very simple and gentle leader, lost his constituency because of his relatives. He was the Home Minister, but due to transfer posting against his relatives and allegations of extremism in the area, people rejected Tamradhwaj Sahu. Secondly, in the state the Sahu community was seen to be on one side with the BJP. For this reason, Chandrakar Samaj candidate Lalit Chandrakar got votes against Sahu of Congress.
Three BJP MPs won, Vijay Baghel lost, Congress MPs lost
BJP fielded four MPs in this election. Raigarh MP Gomti Sai was fielded from Bharatpur Sonhat, Durg MP Vijay Baghel from Patan, Bilaspur MP Arun Sao from Lormi and Surguja MP Renuka Singh from Bharatpur Sonhat. Of these, Gomti Sai, Arun Sao and Renuka Singh won, while Vijay Baghel lost to Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Congress fielded one of its MP Deepak Baij from Chitrakote, he lost the election to BJP’s Vinayak Goyal. Question. 12 Wherever there is Modi and Shah, what happened to BJP?
answer. The Prime Minister’s meeting was held in Mahasamund, Mungeli, Dongargarh, Kanker, Durg, Bhatgaon, Premnagar, Raigarh, Raipur and Bilaspur, while Amit Shah held meetings in Rajnandgaon, Chandrapur, Bilaspur, Bastar, Jagdalpur, Kondagaon, Kanker, Kawardha, Jashpur, Mohla Manpur, Held meetings in Bemetara, Pandariya, Saja, Korba and Janjgir Champa. In this way both of them measured the entire Chhattisgarh. Most of the BJP seats have come in all these areas.
Question. 13 What happened to Congress wherever Rahul-Priyanka went?
answer. Rahul Gandhi held meetings in Bemetara, Baloda Bazar, Ambikapur, Jashpur, Kharsia, Jagdalpur, Raigarh, Kawardha, Rajnandgaon, Bhanupratapur (Farsgaon), Bilaspur and Raipur. Similarly, Priyanka Gandhi held meetings in Raipur, Kurud, Balod, Bilaspur, Khairagarh, Kanker, Bhilai, Jagdalpur. BJP got more seats from all these areas also.
