BJP’s strategy in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh assembly elections will be different from Madhya Pradesh. The party leadership can field some big leaders in these two states also, but like Madhya Pradesh, not all the big leaders will be fielded. A major reason for this is the existence of Congress government in both the states.
BJP will decide its candidate carefully in Rajasthan, because it is very important to worship Vasundhara Raje there. In Chhattisgarh, BJP has already fielded an MP in the first list.
More efforts on lost seats: At the end of this year, elections are being held in five states, but the most important ones for BJP are Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. These three states are BJP’s strongholds and the party has 72 out of 75 seats in the Lok Sabha. In such a situation, she is leaving no stone unturned to win the assembly elections of these states. As part of the strategy, she is working harder on the lost seats. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP has recently fielded most of its big leaders in the assembly elections, including three Union Ministers, four MPs and one National General Secretary.
Party’s strategy to bet on big leaders: BJP sources say that the party is fielding big leaders under the new strategy, but the need and strategy of every state is different. Big leaders will also be fielded in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, but it is not necessary that it be like Madhya Pradesh. BJP has been in power in Madhya Pradesh for the last two decades.
Keep an eye on the anti-incumbency environment: He is in opposition in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. In such a situation, the anti-government atmosphere is different. In Rajasthan, power is changing every five years. In such a situation, where and how much the big leaders have to stake will depend on the situation there. In Chhattisgarh, BJP has already declared an MP Vijay Baghel as its candidate for the seat of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The party can also contest state president MP Arun Sao and MP Saroj Pandey.
Emphasis on harmony in Rajasthan: According to sources, BJP may field Union Ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Arjunram Meghwal in Rajasthan. But the kind of equation that exists between Vasundhara Raje and Shekhawat in the state also has to be seen. The party is unlikely to anger the already angry Vasundhara Raje further. Sources say that the party may also contest elections from Rajasthan MP Bhagirath Choudhary. Later, Jyoti Mirdha from Congress can be fielded from her Lok Sabha seat. Along with Union Minister Kailash Choudhary, the names of MPs Kirori Mal Meena and Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria are also among those contesting the elections.
