NEW DELHI: The Congress, which took solace in a significant victory in Telangana, was taken aback by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s dominating electoral display in the three heartland states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. K Chandrashekhar Rao is lagging from one of the seats he is running for. The Congress deprived his ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi a hat-trick. The results of the elections in Mizoram, which was also held this cycle, will be known tomorrow. In order to honour the Christian-majority state of Mizoram’s observance of Sunday, the Election Commission moved forward the counting process by one day. State of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, who seemed to have been marginalised in the run-up to the assembly election, turned out to be the show stopper as the BJP easily defeated the opposition to record a massive victory.In the 230-member assembly, the party presently holds 165 seats, considerably ahead of the majority threshold of 116. With 63 seats in lead, the Congress is far behind. The BJP put up a great performance in the early leads, and Shivraj Chouhan, who is leading in his stronghold of Budhni by an astounding 51,000 votes, thanked BJP workers beforehand. The four-time chief minister attributed the success of the party to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The people of Madhya Pradesh have a special place in their hearts for our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi ji. Additionally, the state is vital to Modi ji. There is a great deal of faith in him. Chouhan, 64, said, “He held public meetings here and made appeals to people that touched people’s hearts.” The state of Chhattisgarh The BJP hopes to overthrow the Congress party in Chhattisgarh with a resounding win. With 55 seats to its advantage, the party is just a couple short of the 90-seat majority. In contrast, the Congress has an advantage of 32 seats. After trailing at first, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is now ahead of his nephew and BJP candidate Vijay Baghel in the Patan constituency. Rajasthan In Rajasthan, anti-incumbency worked in favour of the BJP, albeit at the price of the Congress, as the latter is poised to seize the state from its competitor in keeping with the’revolving power door’ pattern. The rivalry between party colleague Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot appears to have compounded the challenges facing the Congress. Currently, the Congress leads in 73 constituencies while the BJP leads in 112 seats.
