The BJP had great success in 2023, securing sweeping wins in the Hindi heartland and laying the groundwork for great 2024 Lok Sabha elections. While the party was unable to form a government in Karnataka, it was successful in unseating the Congress in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh and holding complete control here. The strategic wins of the BJP in the Hindi heartland states were assured of BJP victory thanks to the implementation of its “Modi ki guarantee” strategy. When the BJP traveled to Chhattisgarh, it added 47 new members to the Assembly’s 90 seats.
While the Congress came in a distant second and cut its previous election tally in half with 35 seats, the BJP tripled its 2018 tally and managed to secure 54 seats. The BJP received 46.27 percent of the vote, while the Congress received 42.23 percent.
The Congress suffered severe setbacks at the hands of the BJP in the Surguja region, where the party lost all 14 of its seats. To exacerbate the damage, former Deputy Chief Minister TS Singh Deo lost his Ambikapur seat to BJP candidate Rajesh Agrawal. Following the Enforcement Directorate’s accusation that former Chief Minister Baghel was involved in the Mahadev Betting scam app, the BJP launched a relentless campaign against him.
According to the agency, CM Bhupesh Baghel has received approximately Rs 508 crore from the promoters of the Mahadev Betting App, on top of regular payments made in the past. In addition, the BJP claimed that the Congress had broken a number of selection-related pledges it had made in 2018, including promises to the state’s women’s community and to outlaw alcohol. Claiming that Congress does not respect any women in the country, the BJP directed this ploy towards women. Following many days of deliberation, Vishnu Deo Sai was named Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh by the Bhartiya Janata Party. With 87,604 votes overall, Sai won the seat in the Kunkuri Assembly.
He is a well-known member of the BJP and has served in a number of capacities, including as a former union minister and state chief.
Madhya Pradesh, another state in the Hindi Heartland, held elections in which the BJP won a landslide victory by winning 163 seats. According to the polls, Congress was only able to win 66 seats. The BJP received 48.55 percent of the vote, compared to Congress’s dismal 40.40 percent.
Women voters responded favorably to the Ladli Behna scheme, which was introduced by former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The program was introduced earlier this year, in the month of March. In addition to the Mukhyamantri Kanya Abhibhavak pension and Nikah and Vivah, the scheme was introduced.
In Telangana, the Congress Party’s victory over the BRS party, which had ruled the state since its founding, is perceived as a chance lost for the BJP.
The BJP increased its number of seats from one to eight and doubled its vote share, despite finishing third, as pollsters had predicted. The fact that the BJP was able to suppress AIMIM in these elections is also encouraging. Results in the local body election: The BJP won 21 of the 30 seats, allowing them to sweep the Gujarat Nagarpalika bypoll. Additionally, it won all 17 mayor seats in the municipal elections held in Uttar Pradesh.
In addition, the BJP has decided to launch a campaign for the Ram Mandir celebration that will begin on January 1. BJP workers will knock on doors in every village in the nation in order to persuade ten crore families to take part in Diya Lightening programs for Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
