  • Key to power in Chhattisgarh: How will lotus blossom in ‘Zero Land’, BJP’s Surguja-Bastar plan

    The Bharatiya Janata Party, which has been in power in Chhattisgarh for 15 consecutive years, is trying hard to make a comeback in 2023. BJP has put all its strength especially in Bastar and Surguja. The focus of the top leadership of BJP is on zero land i.e. those areas where the party did not get seats in the 2018 assembly elections. BJP is taking out ‘Parivartan Yatra’ to blossom the lotus in the political barren land of Surguja and Bastar. There are a total of 26 assembly seats in both the divisions. It is said that the key to power comes from here. At present there is not a single BJP MLA here.

    Less than three months are left for Chhattisgarh Assembly elections. The ruling Congress and the main opposition party BJP have intensified election preparations. While Congress is trying to strengthen its reach among the public by organizing ‘Bharosa Ka Sammelan’ program, Bharatiya Janata Party is ready to take the achievements of Modi government and failures of Bhupesh Sarkar among the public through Parivartan Yatra. Parivartan Yatras are starting from Dantewada in Bastar and Jashpur in Surguja. Union Minister Amit Shah is starting the first phase from Dantewada, while the second phase will be started by BJP National President JP Nadda. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the concluding program of Parivartan Yatra.

    Complete plan to surround ‘Baba’ and ‘Kaka’

    Congress has a strong government in Chhattisgarh. Out of 90 assembly seats, Congress currently has 71 MLAs, while Bharatiya Janata Party has only 13 MLAs. 3 seats belong to JCCJ and MLA belongs to BSP. There is one seat vacant. TS Singhdev, popularly known as Baba, has a good hold among the people in Surguja area. Before the elections, Congress has also made him Deputy CM. At the same time, BJP has made a strategy to corner Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel (popularly known as Kaka) in his assembly constituency Patan as well as Bastar. BJP’s focus is on zero land seats.

    There are a total of 12 seats in Bastar and 14 seats in Surguja division, where BJP was defeated in 2018. BJP has only 2 plans to open its account in this area of ​​the state. First, to count the works of Modi government and second, the work done towards ending the infiltration of Naxalites. Apart from these two plans, how successful the party is in politically attacking Congress and the Baghel government will be revealed only with the results of the elections.

    BJP suffered a major setback in the 2018 elections.

    In the 2018 assembly elections, BJP suffered a major setback in the tribal areas of the state. The party did not get a single seat in Surguja division. Dantewada was the only seat in Bastar, that too was lost in the by-election. In view of this, BJP has decided to focus on tribal areas. As part of the strategy, the central leadership of BJP is repeatedly visiting Chhattisgarh. It is believed that the key to power in Chhattisgarh lies with the tribal reserved seats, especially in Bastar and Surguja divisions, that is why BJP’s entire emphasis is on these tribal seats.

    2989 kilometer journey, 84 meetings, 7 road shows

    Chhattisgarh BJP state president Arun Sao is leading the first phase of the Parivartan Yatra. This journey will be of about 1728 km. There will be about 45 general meetings, 32 welcome meetings and 5 road shows in different assembly constituencies. The second phase of Parivartan Yatra will start from Jashpur. BJP national president JP Nadda will flag it off. The second phase of the yatra will be led by Leader of Opposition in Chhattisgarh Assembly Narayan Chandel. The second Parivartan Yatra will be of 1261 kilometers. In the second phase, there will be 39 general meetings, 53 welcome meetings and 2 road shows. Both Parivartan Yatra will conclude on 28th September. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the closing programme. Both journeys will be of approximately 2989 km. BJP leaders from national to state level will participate in the Parivartan Yatra.

    Bastar and Surguja special for both parties

    BJP is working on a master plan to corner the ruling Congress party in the 2023 assembly elections. BJP has focused most on tribal seats. BJP seems to be in aggressive mode regarding tribal reservation in Chhattisgarh. The party will also try to capitalize on giving a chance to a tribal woman on the highest post like President. Let us tell you that before Parivartan Yatra, state in-charge Om Mathur had made a whirlwind tour of 12 assembly constituencies of Bastar by helicopter. Along with giving the mantra of victory to the workers, he investigated the ground reality. Bastar Fort has special significance for both the parties, hence the leaders of Congress and BJP are engaged in all-round siege of each other.

  • Now Gujarat model fails, Bhupesh model discussed in the country; Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at PM Modi

    Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge said that the Modi government at the Center praises the Chhattisgarh government, but it has nothing to offer here. Bhupesh is trying to defame Baghel and Congress government by sending ED-IT-CBI to Chhattisgarh. The good work done in Chhattisgarh had never been done before. According to the NITI Aayog report, 40 lakh people have come out of poverty. Show the work of Chhattisgarh to the Prime Minister, so that he can understand that he did not do this work in Gujarat, but Bhupesh Baghel has done this work in a backward area like Chhattisgarh. Better work has been done in Chhattisgarh. This is not Modi’s Gujarat model but the model of Congress and Bhupesh Baghel.

    Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Bharosko Sammelan in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh and said that now ED, IT, CBI will all be behind you to defame and intimidate the Congress, but the people of Chhattisgarh are not afraid. Is. We are going to compete. Kharge said that if we were afraid, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi would not have given up their lives. We are the people who protect the country and save the democracy of the country. Big factories came under the Congress government. Lakhs of people got employment, but after the arrival of Modi and Shah, public sector did not come. You are just selling what Congress built in 70 years. The Prime Minister only lies. After getting elected, we all were left in the streets in Delhi.

    There are people who look at Adani-Ambani

    Mallikarjun Kharge said that Modi government is not going to look after the poor. Modi looks at the rich. Going to see Adani-Ambani. On top of that we say that we do everything for the welfare of the poor. I tell the people of Chhattisgarh to be alert and alert…they are trying to scare everyone. One such raid was conducted at the journalist’s house. Kharge said that rising inflation could not reduce unemployment. Make PM, he used to talk about providing jobs to two crore people every year. It’s been 10 years, why haven’t 20 crore jobs been given yet? Rs 15 lakh black money did not come…

    BJP people got scared after INDIA alliance

    Kharge said that there were riots in Manipur and Modi did not even go to peep. G-20 is going on here. All the pillars in Delhi have only Modi’s photo. What do you want to convey by this? He said that after the formation of India alliance, the people of BJP are scared. We are busy uniting India and these people are busy breaking it into pieces. Rahul Gandhi walked more than 4 thousand kilometers and where are you walking…. What did you do by teaching us… Start Up India, Digital India, Khelo India, Badhega-India, your mentality is bad. We gave the name of Mahatma Gandhi to MNREGA, food security, but did not give the name of anyone. We always do for the welfare of the poor. Nehru laid the foundation of democracy, the museum in his name was closed and converted into Prime Minister’s Museum… what are you doing?

    Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel kept his promise

    Mahatma Gandhi used to say that I want to build such an India where even the poorest of the poor feel that the country is theirs. There was a time when very little paddy was purchased from farmers. Now this year one lakh seven thousand metric tonnes of paddy is being purchased. Agricultural loans of 19 lakh farmers were waived off in Chhattisgarh, we introduced Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, English medium schools were started, we are purchasing minor forest produce. Forest rights were given to tribal brothers and sisters. We increased the unemployment allowance to Rs 2500. The Central Government also praised the Millet Mission of Chhattisgarh. The way Bhupesh Baghel and his council of ministers have worked. That is phenomenal. The trust given to him has been fulfilled. This is the government of the poor, the Dalits, the backward and the farmers.
