BJP Scores 3/3 In Heartland, Telangana Consolation For Congress
Jaipur: BJP has edge in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh too, as per the trends so far. If BJP wins both these states and is already winning Madhya Pradesh, it will be a huge fillip for the party in the Hindi heartland. Ironically, BJP had lost all these 3 states in 2018 to the Congress. This will only bolster BJP’s confidence for 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. BJP leads in RAJ on 115 seats and in MP on 165 seats.
The counting of votes for the 2023 assembly Elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana is still on, marking a crucial semi-final before the impending general elections in less than six months.
As per the early trends, BJP is leading in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, while Congress is way ahead of BRS in Telangana.
As votes were counted for assembly elections to the four states on Sunday, trends on the Election Commission website threw up a patchwork that could end up with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s imprint on it. It seemed to be pro-incumbency in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and anti-incumbency in the Congress-ruled states of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
The elections, which set the momentum for the 2024 polls, have seen the BJP and the Congress go head to head in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Telangana was a direct contest between the Congress and the K Chandrashekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) that was hoping for a hat-trick.
