The election noise has stopped in Chhattisgarh. After 5 years, BJP is going to come to power once again. Congress has faced a crushing defeat after just 5 years in office. At this time, some common questions are floating on everyone’s lips.
The question is, was Congress really not able to tap into this undercurrent? What was the reason that Congress had to face such a defeat after just one innings? How was the public mandate in favor of BJP this time? So these are the ten reasons due to which the people of the state left the hands of Congress and fed the lotus of BJP. – Factionalism in ticket distribution.
This time, the Congress party had canceled the tickets of a total of 22 MLAs on the basis of the survey. This time there was a lot of factionalism in ticket distribution. Here, instead of getting tickets for one’s favorite candidate, the focus was more on getting tickets for the other group’s favorite candidates. The biggest example of this is the seat of Jagdalpur.
Here PCC Chief Deepak Baij wanted to get ticket to Congress in-charge General Secretary Malkit Singh Gendu but Deputy CM T S Singhdev was lobbying in favor of Jatin Jain. In the end, the ticket was given to Jatin Jaiswal while Rekhchand Jain was considered to be the strongest candidate from Congress. Jain did not get the ticket due to factionalism. Not reviewing the ministers.
The loss of the elections of nine ministers shows that the public was not satisfied with the work of the ministers. The party reviewed the work of the MLAs but could not review the work of the ministers. There was resentment against the ministers and the party was seen standing with them. For this reason, the matter of giving tickets to all the ministers went against the Congress.
The majority of the society did not even accept the idea of caste census. Because this would create a kind of classification in the society and there was a possibility of discrimination increasing. Then the action of ED and IT continued in the corruption case, due to this also it is becoming clear that the Bhupesh government will suffer loss. – Centralization of power.
MLAs did not get any exemption in last 5 years. Due to two and a half years of politics, two groups of MLAs were also seen. The effect of this factionalism was that the MLAs of one group stopped being heard completely, while the MLAs of the other group were given more value.
-More talk on loan waiver
The announcement of loan waiver in Chhattisgarh proved to be a game changer for Congress. Therefore, in 2023, once again the Congress Party made this promise to the farmers and kept mentioning it at many places. The rest of the class was very angry with this announcement of Congress. Other sections continued to feel that the government did not make any major announcement for them. No major action was taken on the PSC controversy.
The Congress government took the scam that took place in the PSC exam just before the elections very lightly. Despite many complaints, no major action was seen. Every year around 6 lakh candidates appear for the PSC exam. This controversy not only reached the six lakh candidates but also their families associated with them. The indifferent attitude of the government reached the families of these candidates.
-Mistake in PM residence
Congress had tried to twist the issue by blaming the Center on Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but it became popular among the people that the Congress government had made a mistake in the matter of providing housing to the poor. Perhaps Congress strategists were not successful in understanding its seriousness – impact of Biranpur violence.
Giving ticket to Ishwar Sahu, father of youth Bhuvaneshwar Sahu, who was killed after the Biranpur violence, was also decisive. Ishwar not only defeated a veteran minister like Ravindra Choubey, but its effect was visible in other assembly consti
The most important promise was BJP’s Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Promise to give Rs 12 thousand every year to women. Then the move made by the candidates to fill the form of Mahtari Vandan Yojana in their respective areas became decisive. Under this, this message was sent to the women that BJP will give one thousand rupees every month to the women. If there are three women in a house, they will get three thousand rupees per month.
Bhupesh government was late in understanding this promise and countering it. Although Bhupesh later announced that Rs 15,000 would be given to women, but by then BJP’s ploy had worked in every house.
-Could not understand the issues
Complaints about the deteriorating law and order situation in Chhattisgarh were raised from CM House to every forum. The party could not understand this, even those who understood could not do anything about it. On the other hand, Congress workers were also visible. Many workers who stood for the party while in the opposition were angry at their neglect after coming to power, but the party could not understand these issues properly.
The Congress Party had made a total of 36 promises in 2018. Major promises included the promise of prohibition and regularization. While the promise of prohibition was limited only to the formation of a committee, the irregular workers remained waiting for regularization. – Ignoring the rebellion of the rebels.
Even before the distribution of tickets, rebellion was being seen in the Congress party regarding potential contenders, yet Congress did not make any special effort to keep the rebels together. The Congress party took rebels like Ajit Kukreja, Anup Nag, Gorelal Burman very lightly.
