  • Latest opinion poll of Chhattisgarh; Who is getting more seats in BJP-Congress? see result

    Chhattisgarh Opinion poll Result: On Monday, the Election Commission announced the election dates of five states including Chhattisgarh. After the announcement of election dates, ABP-C Voter has released its opinion poll results regarding Chhattisgarh. In this survey, Congress seems to be leading. However, Bharatiya Janata Party is also not far behind in the opinion poll results. According to the survey, there is a close contest between Congress and BJP in Chhattisgarh. Still, Congress seems to be ahead in this close contest. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which side the camel sits on on the election day and in whose favor the voters vote more? Let us know the results of the survey…

    Who is getting how many seats?

    According to the opinion poll results released by ABP-C Voter on Monday, Congress is looking ahead in Chhattisgarh. In this, Congress is seen getting 45-51 seats. Apart from this, BJP is also seen giving strong competition to Congress in this state. In this survey, BJP is seen getting 39-45 seats. In this opinion, other parties are also seen getting 0-2 seats. According to the results, Congress seems to be moving closer to power in Chhattisgarh. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how true this survey proves to be in the election results.

    Let us tell you that in the elections held in 2018, Bharatiya Janata Party was reduced to only 15 seats in the state. In such a situation, if BJP’s performance remains as per the opinion poll results, then it will be considered a good performance. In such a situation, it is also believed that there is a close contest between Congress and BJP in Chhattisgarh. BJP can benefit from this in the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which party occupies the chair of CM of the state.

    Let us tell you that assembly elections have been announced for Chhattisgarh. The Election Commission has decided to conduct elections in Chhattisgarh in two phases. The first phase of voting will be held along with Mizoram on November 7. After this, the second phase of voting will be held with Madhya Pradesh on November 17.

  • Congress will be tested in the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh; What equations are being formed?

    The Election Commission on Monday announced the voting dates in Chhattisgarh and sounded the election trumpet. Voting will be held in two phases for a total of 90 assembly seats in Chhattisgarh. Voting will take place in the state on November 7 and 17, while counting of votes along with other states will take place on December 3. The Congress had won 71 seats in the 90-member assembly in the 2018 assembly elections in Chhattisgarh after 15 years of BJP rule. Since then, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has tried to strengthen the position of Congress by promoting regional identity. Know in this report what electoral equations are being created in the state…

    fight hard to win

    Chhattisgarh assembly elections are going to be very important for Congress as it will boost its secular political image. Electoral success in the state will also be very important for the Congress from the point of view of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This will give it great strength in the INDIA alliance. At present Congress has 71 MLAs. BJP has 13 MLAs, JCC (Janata Congress Chhattisgarh) has 3 and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has two MLAs. Vaishali Nagar seat of Durg district is vacant due to the death of the MLA two months ago.

    What do the statistics say?

    In the year 2018, Congress made an unprecedented comeback in the state and won 67 out of total 90 seats. In the subsequent by-elections, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of Congress MLAs. After the victory in 2018, Congress made Bhupesh Baghel the CM of the state. He became the first OBC (Other Backward Class) Chief Minister of the state, where the community constitutes more than 40 per cent of the total population.

    Bhupesh strengthened Congress’s position

    Anti-incumbency wave and dissatisfaction of BJP workers towards the leadership are said to be the main reasons for Congress’s victory five years ago. At present, all the seats in tribal dominated Surguja and Bastar regions are with the ruling Congress. At the same time, election analysts say that during the last five years, Baghel has strengthened Chhattisgarhism by promoting regional festivals, sports and art and culture of the state. This has strengthened the position of Congress.

    attempt to draw attention to corruption

    On the other hand, BJP has tried to draw people’s attention towards corruption. Making this an issue, BJP is continuously attacking the Congress government. BJP has attacked the Congress government citing the raids of the Enforcement Directorate. BJP has tried to corner the Bhupesh Baghel government by mentioning Mahadev App scam, coal and liquor scam. However, election analysts say that Congress appears to be electorally weaker in the northern and southern regions, especially the tribal areas of the state, as compared to the 2018 elections.

    Big exam in tribal areas

    On this issue, a Congress leader, on the condition of anonymity, said – Compared to the seats we got in the 2018 elections, Congress is likely to lose seats in all four regions (Surguja, Bilaspur, Bastar and Durg). . The first reason is that a large number of first-time MLAs have not performed well. As a result, there is an anti-incumbency wave in these areas.

    Sahu community can disintegrate

    The Congress leader said- Some castes who voted for Congress in 2018 are inclined towards BJP (this time). Sahu community is included in these castes. In the year 2018, about 12 percent voters of Sahu community had voted for Congress with the hope that its leader Tamradhwaj Sahu would be made the Chief Minister. Since it is now clear that if Congress wins, Baghel will be made the Chief Minister, Sahu has moved towards BJP.

    Election results of many seats will be affected

    A deficiency is clearly visible in the BJP camp also. BJP has failed to attack Congress aggressively in the last five years. It is only in recent months that the BJP has managed to present corruption as an issue, but questions still remain over how effective the anti-corruption campaign will be in the assembly elections. At the local level, the district units of the BJP have failed to counter the Congress’s attacks against the Centre. This may also affect the election results of many seats.

    BJP also faces a big challenge

    However, this time in the elections BJP has expressed confidence only in its local units. A BJP official said- The party has expressed hope from the RSS and its members to work for the party on the ground. If we look at the figures of 2018, Congress had secured 68 seats and 42.8 percent votes, which was 10% more than BJP. According to election observers, BJP is facing a tough challenge to bridge this huge gap and cross the majority mark of 46 seats.

  • BJP fielded 64 candidates in Chhattisgarh, former CM Raman Singh also got a chance

    Apart from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, BJP has also announced candidates for Chhattisgarh assembly elections. BJP has declared candidates for 64 assembly seats in the state. There are a total of 90 assembly seats in the tribal dominated state. BJP has given a chance to former CM Dr. Raman Singh in its list from Rajnandgaon. Apart from this, State President Arun Sao has been fielded from Lormi.

  • MP plan in Chhattisgarh too, BJP will announce names of many veterans? understand the meaning

    In Chhattisgarh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had released the first list of candidates last month. Party sources have said that next week BJP is going to release the second list in which the names of 69 candidates will be announced. Assembly elections are to be held in many states by the end of the year. In such a situation, the same plan that BJP has made for Madhya Pradesh can be implemented in Chhattisgarh also. Let us understand its meaning…

    BJP’s plan in MP

    BJP has so far released two lists in Madhya Pradesh. Names of 39 candidates each have been announced in both. In the second list, BJP announced the names of some such people that many things started happening inside and outside the party. A leader close to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan even said that it cannot be told who will be the next CM. Actually, BJP has fielded four MPs, three Union Ministers and National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya in MP.

    Similar bet in Chhattisgarh also

    Chhattisgarh BJP President Arun Sao said regarding ticket distribution that the party will give tickets to the most deserving candidates who can win the elections. He said that ‘screening of candidates will be finalized soon and the party will field such candidates who will get the support of workers and voters.’ According to party sources, six MPs will be fielded in the state. The name of MP Vijay Baghel has been announced in the first list. In the second list, a total of five more MPs including Arun Sao, Raipur MP Sunil Soni and Union Minister Renuka Singh can be fielded.

    One plan in both states

    BJP has decided to field many veterans in the election field in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Recently, Kailash Vijayvargiya had told in an interview that the party has taken this decision in MP because the veterans who have been fielded have never lost elections. BJP has not even announced the CM face in MP. After the release of the second list, a party source said that CM Shivraj was surprised to see the names of the candidates. In such a situation, even in Chhattisgarh, BJP has not announced the CM face. It is noteworthy that there is a Congress government in Chhattisgarh. BJP wants to give a tough competition to Congress by fielding many national level leaders and veterans in the elections. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see to which party the public hands over the CM’s chair.

    Along with this, Kejriwal also promised to protect the water, forests and land of the tribals from the evil eyes of the capitalists and politicians. He said that it has been 75 years since the country’s independence but even today the tribal society is backward. There has been step-motherly treatment with the tribal society. Tribal society lives in forests. All the capitalists and leaders have evil eyes on the water, forests and land of the tribals. We will implement the PESA law within a month of forming the government in the state and provide all powers to the Gram Sabhas.

  • After years, you have got a chance, loot as much as you want; PM Modi lashed out at Baghel government- VIDEO

PM Modi said that they (opposition leaders) together have formed an ‘Indi’ alliance. Some people also call it an arrogant alliance. They have opened a front against your identity and your culture. Out of greed for power, these people want to destroy India. The policy of this alliance is to attack the faith of the people of India. Chhattisgarh is the maternal birthplace of Lord Ram. There is a temple of Mauta Kaushalya here. I have come from Ram’s maternal home to make people aware about ‘Sanatan’.

    Chhattisgarh’s Congress government is continuously moving ahead in corruption.

    Prime Minister Modi, without taking anyone’s name, fired sharp arrows of words at the Congress leaders in the Vijay Shankhnad rally. He said that my brothers and sisters have had to bear the loss of BJP government in Chhattisgarh. We wanted to get the benefit of PM Awas Yojana here, but the Congress government of Chhattisgarh did not allow pucca houses to be built for the poor. The Congress government has left Chhattisgarh behind in terms of poor welfare, youth skills and women empowerment, but the Congress government of Chhattisgarh is continuously moving ahead in corruption.

    What will be the mentality of people who commit corruption in cow dung?

    Prime Minister Modi said- I cannot even imagine, you imagine what would be the mentality of people who commit corruption in cow dung? Promised prohibition and the Congress government of Chhattisgarh committed a scam worth crores of rupees in the sale of liquor. They think that after many years they have got a chance, they can loot as much as they want. The Congress government is only looting Chhattisgarh.

    It is necessary to form BJP government in Chhattisgarh

    PM Modi said that Chhattisgarh was created by Atal ji. Now PM Modi has to be given a chance to make Chhattisgarh ‘Developed Chhattisgarh’. It is necessary to form BJP government in Chhattisgarh.

Foreign guests had come to Delhi. At Rashtrapati Bhavan, he was fed Kodo, Kutki and Ragi, which my tribal brothers and sisters of Chhattisgarh eat daily in their homes. Today India’s name is famous all over the world regarding G-20. PM Modi said that to save Chhattisgarh from corrupt people, please give me a lotus… I will give you developed Chhattisgarh. If Congress government remains here, Chhattisgarh will not get its benefit, hence it is necessary to form BJP government here.

    Congress made Chhattisgarh’s mineral wealth a source of income.

    Prime Minister Modi said that Chhattisgarh is a state rich in mineral resources. The Center has created a District Mineral Fund. Our idea was to spend a portion in the development of the village from where we are taking the mineral wealth. The central government wanted our tribal brothers and sisters to get its benefits, but the corrupt Congress government here did not leave it. DMF funds are not reaching the mineral villages. Congress has made the mineral wealth of Chhattisgarh a source of income. Chhattisgarh has become an ATM for the top leadership of Congress. 50 years ago, Congress had given the guarantee of removing poverty from the country and even today it gives the same guarantee.

    To conquer the stronghold in Chhattisgarh, BJP is going to start ‘Parivartan Yatra’ from September 17. This yatra of BJP will go to 87 assembly constituencies. During this time, BJP will put forward the alleged corruption of Bhupesh Baghel government. BJP leaders said on Tuesday that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will flag off the yatra after offering prayers at Maa Danteshwari temple in Dantewada (South Chhattisgarh) on Tuesday.

    Through this yatra, BJP will take the public welfare schemes of the Center to the people. BJP leaders said that the second Parivartan Yatra will be flagged off by party president JP Nadda from Jashpur on September 15. BJP state in-charge Om Mathur and other senior leaders worshiped the vehicles brought for the yatra at the Kushabhau Thackeray complex here.

BJP leaders said the bus has CCTV cameras, LED screens, ‘hydraulic lift’ to address the gathering during the journey and other modern facilities. The bus, painted in saffron colour, has pictures of Prime Minister Modi, party president JP Nadda, state chief Arun Sao, former chief minister Raman Singh, leader of opposition in the assembly Narayan Chandel.
