  • The issue of paddy purchase and bonus will be important in Chhattisgarh assembly elections, know the plan of BJP-Cong.

    This time also the issue of paddy purchase and bonus is going to be the most prominent issue in Chhattisgarh assembly elections. There are preparations to include this issue in the manifestos of both BJP and Congress. BJP is first waiting for the manifesto of Congress, so that it can overtake it in promises and maintain its lead. In this, increasing the support price of paddy, bonus on purchase and farmer loan waiver are the main ones. Currently, there is a Congress government in Chhattisgarh and along with claiming to fulfill its previous promises, it is also making new promises. Also, responsibility is being put on the Center for the promises that have not been fulfilled.

    BJP claims that the central government has procured the paddy. Because, the quota for paddy purchase is decided by the Centre. In such a situation, this time also procurement of paddy is going to be a big issue. Both BJP and Congress are talking about increasing the support price of paddy. At present the support price is Rs 2640 per quintal. Both the parties are also claiming that if they come to power, the purchase of paddy will be increased to 20 quintals per acre. At present this figure is 15 quintals per acre. Apart from this, another issue is the bonus on purchase of paddy. That is, additional amount will be given by the state government along with purchase at support price. In 2013, BJP’s Raman Singh government had promised a bonus of Rs 300 per quintal. Whereas, in the last elections, Congress had promised a bonus of Rs 600 per quintal. In such a situation, announcement of bonus can become a big factor in this election also.

    According to sources, BJP may release its election manifesto after Congress, so that it can make announcement ahead of Congress.

    BJP will release manifesto soon

    The first phase of elections in Chhattisgarh is on November 7. Sources say that BJP may release its election manifesto on November 4 or 5. Last month, BJP had issued a charge sheet against the Congress government of Chhattisgarh. Now, in the manifesto, she will go ahead and present her future road map before the public as to how she will provide more benefits to the people if she comes to power.

  • Chhattisgarh Election Survey: The latest survey of Chhattisgarh elections has also arrived, BJP’s seats have increased from last time; What is the condition of Congress?

While BJP may register victory on 38 seats, others are seen going from zero to 2 seats. According to this survey, even though BJP does not seem to reach the majority mark, there is a possibility of increase in its seats. In the 2018 assembly elections, BJP had won only 15 seats i.e. about 16 percent seats, hence this time BJP is expected to win about 9 to 20 percent more seats as compared to the last election.

    It is noteworthy that in the 2018 assembly elections fought under the leadership of Bhupesh Baghel, Congress had won 68 seats and deprived Raman Singh, who was in power for 3 terms, from forming the government again. At present Congress has a total of 71 seats in the state assembly. The state government led by Bhupesh Baghel is claiming to form a repeat government by winning the next assembly.

    Congress has 71 out of 90 assembly seats in Chhattisgarh. Whereas BJP has only 13 MLAs. In this way, Janata Congress Chhattisgarh has 3 seats, BSP has 2 seats. In the 2003 assembly elections, BJP won more than 50 out of 91 seats in the state and formed the government under the leadership of Raman Singh. After this, BJP won consecutively in the 2008 and 2013 assembly elections. In the 2018 assembly elections, Congress returned to power under the leadership of Bhupesh Baghel after 15 years.

  • Like Rajasthan, Congress wants to change the election dates in Chhattisgarh too, what are the arguments?

    Chhattisgarh election date: Recently, the Election Commission announced the dates of the assembly elections to be held in five states. However, later the voting date of Rajasthan elections was changed. After Rajasthan, there is a demand to change the election date in Madhya Pradesh also. In such a situation, now Chhattisgarh Deputy CM and veteran Congress leader TS Singh Deo has also raised the demand for changing the date. He has also given arguments for this.

    What are the arguments of Congress?

    Elections are to be held in Chhattisgarh in two phases on 7 and 17 November. There is a Congress government in the state. Demanding change in the voting date, TS Singh Deo said, ‘The Election Commission wants 100 per cent voting… There are many festivals like Dussehra, Diwali, Bhai Dooj, Chhath, etc. during the election dates. Everyone in the country knows about these social festivals. If the Election Commission wants, they still have time to adjust the date. The Election Commission wants 100% voting… but is it possible to get 100% voting in this situation? If not, the Election Commission will have to decide whether they want to make any changes or not.

    Demand raised in Madhya Pradesh also

    Bhojpuri Ekta Manch in Madhya Pradesh wrote a letter to the Election Commission to change the date. Bhojpuri Ekta Manch argued that voting is to be held in the state on 17th November but Chhath will be celebrated from 17th to 20th November. The population of Bhojpuri community in the entire state is around 35 lakh. This may affect the voting percentage. For this reason the election dates should be changed.

    It is noteworthy that in Rajasthan, voting is now to be held on 25th November instead of 23rd November. This is because large scale weddings and social functions are to be held in the state during this period. In such a situation, demand for changing the election date has started rising in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh also.

  • For the first time after independence, polling centers will be built in more than 120 villages of Naxal-affected Bastar.

    This will be the first time after independence when people of more than 120 villages of Naxal-affected Bastar region of Chhattisgarh will get a chance to vote in these assembly elections in their own settlements. Officials said that new polling stations will be built in these villages of difficult areas which were earlier strongholds of Naxalites. Officials are considering this achievement as the victory of ‘ballot on bullet’. Earlier, voters in most of these villages had to travel a distance of 8 to 10 kilometers to vote. People had to cross mountains and streams to cast their vote. This affected the voting percentage.

    Officials say that the establishment of polling stations in the areas of Bastar region which were once considered Naxalite strongholds is a sign of improvement in the security scenario and strengthening of the democratic system. It is known that voting will be held in two phases in the state. There are 12 assembly constituencies in Bastar division consisting of seven districts. Voting will be held in the first phase on November 7 in Bastar division.

    Bastar Range Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sundarraj P said that more than 126 new polling stations will be set up in Bastar region for voting on November 7. Most of these will be new polling stations located in remote Naxal-affected areas. These new polling stations will assure the new generation of ‘ballot after ballot’ victory in Bastar region.

    Of the 126 new booths, 15 will be set up in Kanker assembly constituency, 12 in Antagarh, five in Bhanupratappur (Kanker district), 20 in Konta (Sukma district), 14 in Chitrakote, four in Jagdalpur, one in Bastar (Bastar district). Not only this, 13 polling booths will be set up in Kondagaon, 19 in Keshkal (Kondagaon district), nine in Narayanpur, eight in Dantewada and six in Bijapur.

    The official said the establishment of more than 65 camps of security forces (both state police and Central Armed Police Forces) in the Naxal-hit area during the last five years has brought about a significant change in the ground situation. It has helped in setting up polling booths even in remote villages. IG said that these new polling stations are a sign of better security and strengthening democratic system in Bastar.

    Police officials in the area said that earlier polling stations were not set up in these areas due to difficult geographical conditions and Maoist threats. Pallo Markam, a tribal woman from Chandameta village, said that earlier she had to travel a distance of eight kilometers to reach Chhindgur village to vote, but now she is happy that she will be able to vote in her village itself.

    Chandameta is one of the four villages in Jagdalpur constituency where a polling booth will be set up for the first time. Chandameta, once considered a stronghold of militancy, is located in the foothills of the Tulsi Dongri hills on the Chhattisgarh-Orissa border, about 65 km from Jagdalpur, the headquarters of Bastar district. Markam said that due to lack of road, one had to go to Chhindgur through unpaved roads. Now we are very happy to have a polling station in our village.

    Markam said that we will vote for the one who will work for our development. Shyam Kawasi, another resident of the village, said that the voters of his village were earlier not interested in voting because one had to travel eight kilometers away and there was no road to reach there. He said that this time the entire village is excited to participate in the celebration of democracy.

    Bastar District Collector Vijay Dayaram K said that the villagers of Chandameta had requested the district administration to set up a polling booth in their village. Last year, after the security forces established a camp in the village, the district administration rapidly took forward the development works there. A road connecting the village, schools and a health center were constructed. Electrification work of the village is in progress.

    Bastar District Collector Vijay Dayaram said that most of the families in Chandameta village, which has a population of 432 people, had at least one member associated with the Naxalites before the police camp was established. The Collector said that for the first time after independence, the tricolor was hoisted in the village on August 15 last year. Now villagers will cast their votes in their villages for the first time after independence.

    Bastar District Collector Vijay Dayaram said that there are 290 voters in the village, of which 148 are men and 142 are women. We are ready to conduct peaceful and successful elections. Voting will be held in the first phase in 12 assembly constituencies falling in Naxal-affected Bastar division Bastar and eight assembly constituencies of Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki, Rajnandgaon, Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai and Kabirdham districts of the state.

  • Chhattisgarh Election: Ticket not received from Jashpur; Former minister Ganesh Ram Bhagat cried bitterly

    Internal discord seems to be increasing in BJP regarding ticket in Jashpur, Chhattisgarh. A video of former minister and senior BJP tribal leader Ganesh Ram Bhagat is going viral. In this he is seen crying and addressing the workers. Sanad Ganesh Ram Bhagat was seeking ticket from Jashpur Assembly. Tribal Suraksha Manch’s national convenor Ganesh Ram Bhagat addressed the workers and cried after not getting the ticket. However Live Hindustan does not confirm the authenticity of this video.

    Ganesh Ram Bhagat said that if it did not happen now, he went to Jashpur. BJP has fielded Raimuni Bhagat from Jashpur. If sources are to be believed, three big leaders were claiming the ticket from Jashpur. These included senior tribal group leader Ganesh Ram Bhagat, District Panchayat President Raimuni Bhagat and District President Sharda Pradhan. The party had also conducted a survey regarding these three names. Raimuni Bhagat seemed to have the upper hand among these contenders. If sources are to be believed, BJP did not want to take any risk from this assembly seat.

    If we look at the results of the last assembly elections, we find that for the first time in 35 years, BJP had to face defeat from Jashpur Assembly by 8 thousand votes. This is the third time that Raimuni Bhagat has been elected President of District Panchayat Jashpur. She has also been a member of the State Women Commission from 2016 to 2018. She is considered a strong woman leader of BJP. He is considered a staunch opponent of the Pathalgadi campaign.

    Just before the 2018 assembly elections, the Pathalgadi campaign had gained momentum in Narayanpur and Bagicha police station areas of Jashpur district. No local leader was seen opposing it. At that time Raimuni Bhagat had come into limelight and had uprooted the stones buried by Pathalgadi supporters. Then the pictures of Raimuni Bhagat uprooting the stones became a topic of discussion. There has been fear of movement of Pathalgadi supporters in these registered areas. These are the reasons why Raimuni Bhagat, who started her political journey as a District Panchayat member in 2005, has the upper hand among the ticket contenders.
