  • Mohammad Akbar’s challenge to BJP, said- If there is even a single Rohingya Muslim in Kawardha, show me…

    Raipur. Former Chhattisgarh Law Minister Mohammad Akbar had won from the state’s Kawardha Assembly seat in 2018 by a record vote of 59,284, which is the largest margin of victory. This time he lost to BJP’s Vijay Sharma by 39,592 votes. He has expressed doubts about EVMs. He says that there is a lot of uproar regarding EVMs in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He also said, if we raise the issue now, people will question us about the victory of Telangana. During this, he has challenged the allegations made by BJP regarding the settlement of Rohingya Muslims in Kawardha, calling them false.

    He said that, in the review meeting with the party high command in Delhi, my colleagues raised the issue of EVM and discussion started on it. We can demand bringing back the ballot papers for the Lok Sabha elections. We also discussed in detail our manifesto and the work done by our government. The leadership has asked us to focus on the Lok Sabha elections. He said that right now he is waiting for the stand of his party leaders on EVMs. Communal politics does not work in the constituency.

    He said, I do not want to blame anyone for the defeat. I secured the fourth highest number of votes in the state. This time he got 1.05 lakh votes (in 2018, Akbar got 1.36 lakh votes, while the BJP candidate got 77,000 votes). He also said, in future I will try to explain to the voters that their priorities while voting should be development and brotherhood.

    There are allegations of Rohingya Muslims settling in his constituency. To which he said this is just politics. Ask those who are making this allegation to show even one Rohingya Muslim in Kawardha.

    This time Congress was expected to get 60-75 seats from Chhattisgarh, but the party was limited to 35 seats. He said that I could not believe that we lost. For the first time, all exit poll predictions for Chhattisgarh turned out to be wrong. There are many reasons for the loss. Our government did many good things like farm loan waiver, universal ration card and paddy procurement, which were the highest in India. Apart from this, our manifesto was better than that of BJP. However they still won. Let’s see if they keep their promises, especially the promise of purchasing up to 21 quintals of paddy at Rs 3100 per quintal.

    Be it Saja or Kawardha, BJP carried forward the agenda of Hindutva. It has been alleged that Congress practices appeasement politics. He said, they resort to this false story to win the elections and the same happened this time too.

    When asked whether it was a conscious decision of the Congress to remain silent despite BJP leaders using the communal card against you during the campaign, Akbar said, it is better not to react to them. I will not change my style of politics, which is secular. I am confident about my work and do not believe that communal politics will become an issue. After Patan, there was a lot of development in Kawardha. Ultimately it is the people who decide which issue should be given priority.

  • NOTA option should be abolished, demands CM Baghel before Chhattisgarh elections

    Before the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, the demand for removing NOTA from EVMs has started rising. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has said that NOTA option on electronic voting machines should be abolished for those citizens who are not willing to vote for any candidate. Let us tell you that, after the order of the Supreme Court, in 2013, the Election Commission had added NOTA button in EVMs as the last option on the voting panel. NOTA meaning ‘none of the above’ has its own symbol – a ballot paper with a black cross on it.

    While talking to journalists at Raipur airport on Saturday, Baghel said that it has been seen that sometimes more votes are cast in NOTA than the margin of victory or defeat. When asked why more than 2 lakh voters had supported NOTA in the 2018 state assembly elections and how this option affects the elections, the CM said, “The Election Commission should take cognizance of this.” Viewed several times That NOTA gets more votes than the margin of victory and defeat (between the two candidates).”

    He said that many voters press the NOTA button thinking that they have to press either the top or bottom button. Baghel said that therefore NOTA should be discontinued.

    Voting for the 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17 and the counting of votes will take place on December 3. A total of 51 assembly seats in the state are unreserved and 29 seats are reserved for the Scheduled Tribe category and 10 seats for the Scheduled Caste category.

  • 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.

  • Nine assembly seats of Chhattisgarh where BJP never won, what equations are being created?

    Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Election 2023: In Chhattisgarh elections, BJP is focusing more on those nine seats where it has never been able to win after the formation of the state. These assembly seats of Chhattisgarh include Sitapur, Pali-Tanakhar, Marwahi, Mohla-Manpur, Konta, Kharsia, Korba, Kota and Jaijapur. Even after ruling the state for 15 years, BJP could never win these seats. Of these nine assembly seats, Marwahi, Sitapur, Pali-Tanakhar, Mohla-Manpur and Konta are reserved for Scheduled Tribes, while the other four are general.

    Chhattisgarh was formed in 2000

    Let us tell you that in the year 2000, Chhattisgarh state was formed by separating it from Madhya Pradesh. The first assembly elections were held in Chhattisgarh in 2003. At that time BJP had formed the government by defeating Ajit Jogi’s government. Later BJP also won the 2008 and 2013 assembly elections. In the 2018 elections, Congress ended the 15-year rule of Raman Singh by stopping BJP’s victory chariot. Congress had won 68 seats out of 90 member assembly in this election.

    This time special focus on these nine seats

    Now that the election bugle has sounded once again. In this mainly Congress and BJP parties are face to face. Voting for the assembly will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17. This time BJP is hopeful that it will definitely win these nine seats. The party has made new faces its candidates on six of these seats. BJP MP and convenor of the party’s election campaign committee, Santosh Pandey, said that the party has paid special attention to the selection of candidates on those nine seats on which it has never won.

    Big challenge on Naxal affected Konta area

    Santosh Pandey said that all the candidates are campaigning with full enthusiasm in their respective areas. He is getting huge support from the people. Among these nine seats, Naxal-affected Konta area of ​​Bastar region is also there from where State Industries Minister Kawasi Lakhma is the MLA. Lakhma is once again contesting from Congress. Lakhma is an influential tribal leader of the region. He has won this seat five consecutive times since 1998. BJP has fielded newcomer Soyam Mukka from this seat. Mukka is a former activist of ‘Salwa Judum’ who had fought against the Maoists.

    Bhupesh’s ministers are beating the drum on Sitapur

    Konta seat has mostly seen a triangular contest between Congress, BJP and Communist Party of India (CPI). In the 2018 assembly elections, Lakhma got 31,933 votes, while BJP’s Dhaniram Barse and CPI’s Manish Kunjam got 25,224 and 24,549 votes respectively. Sitapur seat of Surguja division, northern region of the state, is also a seat from where BJP has never won. Amarjeet Bhagat, another influential tribal leader of Congress and minister in the Bhupesh Baghel government, has been winning from Sitapur seat since the formation of the state.

    New face Ram Kumar Toppo in fray from Sitapur seat

    BJP has fielded newcomer Ram Kumar Toppo (33) from Sitapur seat. Toppo has recently left CRPF job and joined BJP. He said- The people of Sitapur have asked me to contest the elections. I do not see Bhagat as a challenge. I never imagined becoming a leader. I received about 15 thousand letters from the people of Sitapur, in which they sought my help on various issues and asked me to contest the elections.

    Congress is not a challenge- Toppo

    Ram Kumar Toppo further said that one of these letters was written in blood by a woman who was a victim of sexual exploitation. I could not ignore them and resigned from the service recently when I was posted in Delhi. Appreciating the support he has received from the people of his constituency, he said that I do not see the Congress candidate as a challenge because it is not me but the people of Sitapur who are contesting against him (Bhagat).

    Kharsia seat is also a stronghold of Congress

    Similarly, another minister in the Congress government, Umesh Patel, is contesting from Kharsia seat for the third consecutive time. This seat has been a Congress stronghold since it came into existence in 1977. Umesh Patel’s father Nand Kumar Patel was the president of the state Congress. Patel was killed in the Jheeram Valley Naxalite attack in Bastar in 2013. He was elected from this seat five times. BJP has fielded new face Mahesh Sahu from Kharsia seat.

    Marwahi and Kota seats are also Congress strongholds

    Marwahi and Kota seats of Chhattisgarh have also been the stronghold of Congress, before this in 2018, Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J) had won both the seats. Ajit Jogi, the first Chief Minister of the Congress government after the formation of the state in 2000, won the by-election from Marwahi in 2001. He later won this seat twice on Congress ticket in the 2003 and 2008 assembly elections. In the year 2013, his son Amit Jogi contested from this seat and won.

    History of Marwahi seat

    In 2018, Ajit Jogi contested and won this seat on the ticket of his newly formed political party JCC (J). Later in 2020, Congress won this seat in the by-election held after the death of Ajit Jogi. Similarly, Ajit Jogi’s wife Renu Jogi had won the by-election from Kota seat in 2006 after the death of Congress MLA Rajendra Prasad Shukla. After this, Renu Jogi won this seat twice in 2008 and 2013 elections as a Congress candidate and in 2018 as a JCC (J) candidate.

    BJP never won Korba, Pali-Tanakhar, Jaijaipur and Mohla-Manpur.

    BJP has fielded new faces Prabal Pratap Singh Judev and Pranav Kumar Marpacchi from Kota and Marwahi seats. Former Yuva Morcha vice-president Judev is the son of veteran BJP leader late Dilip Singh Judev, while Marpacchi has served in the Indian Army. Congress has fielded its current MLA KK Dhruv from Marwahi and Chhattisgarh Tourism Board Chairman Atal Srivastava from Kota. Four other seats, Korba, Pali-Tanakhar, Jaijaipur and Mohla-Manpur, were never won by the BJP, and these seats came into existence after delimitation in 2008.

    Interesting contest on Pali-Tanakhar seat

    An interesting contest is being seen on the Pali-Tanakhar seat of the state. Here BJP has fielded Ram Dayal Uike, who left Congress and returned to BJP before the 2018 assembly elections. Uike was elected MLA from Marwahi seat in 1998 on BJP ticket. Later he joined Congress. When Ajit Jogi became the first Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Uike vacated his seat for Jogi. Uike, as a Congress candidate, won the Tanakhar (which became Pali Tanakhar after delimitation) seat in 2003 and then the Pali Tanakhar seat in 2008 and 2013.

    Baghel’s minister’s challenge on Pali Tanakhar also

    Uike returned to BJP in 2018 and contested from Pali-Tanakhar. But lost to Congress candidate. BJP has again fielded Uike from Pali Tanakhar, where the Congress has fielded woman Duleshwari Sidar after not giving ticket to its sitting MLA. Jaisingh Aggarwal, another minister of the Baghel government, has been invincible since 2008 on the Korba seat that came into existence after delimitation. BJP has fielded its former MLA Lakhanlal Dewangan against Congress’ Agarwal from Korba.

    BSP captures Jaijaipur

    Jaijaipur (Janjgir-Champa district) seat of Chhattisgarh is currently held by two-time Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Keshav Chandra. Congress has fielded its district Youth Congress chief Baleshwar Sahu and BJP has fielded its district unit chief Krishnakant Chandra. In the Naxal-affected Mohla-Manpur seat of the state, Congress has fielded its current MLA Indrashah Mandavi, while former MLA Sanjeev Shah is the BJP candidate.

    Congress also never won these three seats

    Like BJP, the ruling party Congress also never won three seats in the state, Raipur City South, Vaishali Nagar and Beltara. These three seats came into existence after the formation of the state (after delimitation in 2008). Raipur City South is an urban constituency held by influential BJP leader and former minister Brijmohan Agarwal. Aggarwal has been a seven-time MLA. Congress has fielded its former MLA and Mahant Ram Sundar Das of the famous Doodhadhari Math of Raipur against Agarwal.

    What equations are being created on Vaishali Nagar and Beltara seats?

    Vaishali Nagar seat is vacant after the death of BJP MLA Vidyartan Bhasin. BJP and Congress have fielded Rickesh Sen and Mukesh Chandrakar from this seat. In Beltara, BJP has not given ticket to sitting MLA Rajneesh Singh and has fielded newcomer Sushant Shukla. Whereas from the Congress side, Bilaspur rural unit president Vijay Kesarwani is the party’s candidate. State Congress communication wing president Sushil Anand Shukla claimed that his party will successfully break into some of the so-called strongholds of the BJP this time.

    Congress set a target of winning 75 seats

    Shukla said- Chhattisgarh has always been a stronghold of Congress. There was a BJP government here for some time, but in the last elections the people had completely rejected the BJP. This time the opposition party is struggling even on those seats where it had won last time. Congress had won 68 seats in the 2018 elections and formed the government. BJP had won 15 seats. Whereas JCC (J) got five seats and BSP got two seats. Congress currently has 71 MLAs in the state assembly. According to party leaders, Congress has set a target of winning 75 seats this time.

  • BJP’s demand from the Election Commission; Chhattisgarh’s DGP should be removed, along with another demand

    The Chhattisgarh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded the Election Commission to remove the Director General of Police of the state, terming some incidents in the state as target killing. Apart from this, BJP has demanded transfer of Inspector General of Police of Rajnandgaon and Superintendent of Police of Mohla-Manpur. The BJP unit of Chhattisgarh has made many serious allegations against the government.

    After a memorandum to this effect was submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer of the state, MPs Santosh Pandey and Sunil Soni, former minister Ajay Chandrakar made several allegations. He told reporters that after the political and targeted killing of Mohalla-Manpur area BJP leader Birjhu Taram and other BJP workers, he demanded strict action against the killers. Along with this, after the incident, there has been a demand for deployment of Central Security Forces in sensitive and highly sensitive polling stations of Naxal affected areas in the assembly elections.

    BJP leaders said that with the announcement of assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, incidents of political target killing are being carried out with the aim of scaring the voters. BJP leaders said that on October 20, BJP leader Birjhu Taram was brutally shot dead in Naxal-affected area Mohla-Manpur. He said that even before the announcement of elections, many such criminal incidents have been stopped with the aim of creating an atmosphere of terror in the state.

    Former minister Shri Chandrakar has accused Congress’s Bhupesh government of fearing target killing of BJP workers under police protection in the upcoming assembly elections. He said that in the coming elections, there may be more targeting and betel nut killings of BJP workers under the protection of police. He said that the people of Congress are bent on spoiling the atmosphere by spreading violence during elections by providing protection to power through strongmen. He alleged that target killing and spreading terror through politics of violence has been the permanent character of Congress.
