  • 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?

    Chhattisgarh India Tv CNX Opinion Poll: Dates for Chhattisgarh Assembly elections have been announced. Before the elections, both the parties are claiming victory. After the announcement of election dates, new surveys have come out to know the mood of Chhattisgarh. BJP may get some relief from this survey report, while there are many issues which can challenge Congress. Actually, before voting, India TV CNX conducted an opinion survey.

    The results of this opinion poll are shocking. According to this survey, Congress can register 50 seats out of 90 seats in the state in the upcoming assembly elections. 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.

  • Who is this saffron clad Mahant whom Congress has fielded in the elections, contesting with the veteran leader of BJP?

    The Congress Party has announced candidates for most of the seats for the assembly elections to be held in two phases in Chhattisgarh. Many big leaders including Bhupesh Baghel and TS Singhdev have once again been fielded in the election field. The party has so far announced the names of 83 candidates for the 90-seat assembly. One of them also includes Mahant, who has been given ticket from Raipur South Assembly seat.

    When the Congress Party released the second list of 53 candidates for Chhattisgarh elections, the name of Mahant Ramsundar Das was also included in it, who is the Mahant of Dudhadhari Temple of Chhattisgarh. In December 2021, Das came into limelight when he openly protested against the derogatory comments made against Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi in the Parliament of Religions held in Raipur. Expressing his objection from the stage itself, he distanced himself from the Dharma Sansad.

    Contest against seven time MLA

    The Congress party has tried to hit many birds with one stone by making Das its face in the elections to be held in November. Das will face BJP candidate Brijmohan Agarwal on Raipur South seat, who has won this seat seven times in a row. Now, who will the public elect as their representative between Ramsundar Das and Brijmohan Aggarwal, it will be clear only after the counting of votes on 3rd December, but Raipur South seat has started being counted as a hot seat.

    Answer was given to Kalicharan

    In fact, in that Parliament of Religions, Kalicharan Maharaj had abused Mahatma Gandhi. Many people clapped at Kalicharan’s foul language, some remained silent but Ramsundar Das openly opposed it. He not only went on stage and expressed his objection but also announced to leave the programme.

    Have been MLAs before too

    It is not that Ramsundar Das has entered the electoral fray for the first time. He has already contested elections on Congress ticket. In 2003, he contested from Pamgarh in Chhattisgarh and also won. In 2008 he won the election from Jaijaipur. But in 2013 he had to face defeat on the same seat. When Bhupesh Baghel’s government was formed in 2018, he was made the chairman of the Cow Seva Commission. Das is often seen with Baghel and is considered close to the CM.
