  • After MP, preparations to field MPs in other states also, BJP’s special strategy in Rajasthan-Chhattisgarh elections; understand

    BJP in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh Election Formula- This year, assembly elections are to be held in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Even though BJP’s hold in Hindi speaking states is strong, the party does not want to leave any stone unturned for the upcoming state assembly elections. Sources say that similar to its Madhya Pradesh strategy of fielding MPs and Union ministers, BJP is trying to replicate this model in Rajasthan also. It can field many MPs here in constituencies where their caste is dominant.

    BJP is in the process of finalizing names for the first list of candidates for the Rajasthan elections. Continuing its latest strategy of announcing candidates for the upcoming assembly elections much before the election schedule is announced, BJP’s Central Election Committee (CEC) on Sunday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief JP Nadda. Possible candidates from Chhattisgarh were also discussed in the meeting. The party may field several MPs in Chhattisgarh, including its state unit chief Arun Sao.

    Ahead of the CEC meeting late on Sunday evening, several meetings have been held in Delhi with BJP leaders from Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in the last two days. Leaders of the two states had met at Nadda’s residence, which was also attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

    Announcement of candidates possible in Navratri

    The BJP is likely to announce its first list of candidates for Rajasthan during Navratri which may include over 30 names including former chief minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia, leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore, former state unit chief Satish Poonia and many others. The party may field several MPs including Kirori Lal Meena, Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuriya, Diya Kumari and Baba Balak Nath. There is also a possibility that some Union Ministers may be made candidates in the Assembly elections to send a message on collective leadership.

    BJP’s formula in Chhattisgarh

    The party may also announce candidates for Chhattisgarh around this time. She has already announced 21 candidates. In both the states, BJP has made it clear that the candidates will be selected on the basis of ground reports and surveys. Only one ticket will be given for a family.

  • Fielding veterans in Madhya Pradesh, what is the plan in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh? BJP’s strategy decoded

    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.

  • Is there something troubling Congress in Rajasthan, Rahul told about close fight, what did MP say on Chhattisgarh?

    Is something bothering Congress in Rajasthan? These questions have been raised often. Now Congress leader Rahul Gandhi says that a ‘very close’ contest may be seen in Rajasthan. However, Rahul expressed overall confidence of the party doing well in the upcoming assembly elections. Rahul said on Sunday that Congress is definitely winning the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh assembly elections. Probably we will win in Telangana also but a close fight can be seen in Rajasthan.

    Let us tell you that assembly elections are proposed in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram in a few months. When asked about the prospects of Congress, Rahul Gandhi said that there is no question of Congress not winning in any state in the upcoming assembly elections. I would say right now we are probably winning Telangana, we are definitely winning Madhya Pradesh, we are definitely winning Chhattisgarh. There is a very close contest in Rajasthan and we think we will win. By the way, BJP is also saying the same internally.

    Rahul said that Congress learned an important lesson in Karnataka that BJP wins elections by diverting attention and hence we fought the elections by keeping our point prominent. What are you seeing today, Bidhuri and then Nishikant Dubey, BJP is trying to divert attention from the issue of caste census by doing all this. They know that caste census is a basic thing which they do not want to discuss. Every time we bring up this issue they distract us but now we have learned how to deal with it.

    Rahul said- If you see Telangana elections, we are deciding the discussions while BJP is finished there. Congress is planning discussions before the elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. If you talk to people in Rajasthan about what the issue is in terms of anti-incumbency, they will tell you that they like the government. We are getting into a situation where BJP controls the media. Don’t think that the opposition is not able to adapt accordingly, we are adapting, we are working together.

    Rahul claimed that BJP has captured the communication system of the 21st century to such an extent that it is practically impossible to talk to the people of India through it. The biggest learning from the Bharat Jodo Yatra was that the old way of communication and meeting people, which was started in the modern era by Mahatma Gandhi and carried forward by others in the old era, still works. No matter how much force BJP uses, its plans will not succeed because now there is direct communication with the people.
