Chhattisgarh polls: as BJP defies predictions, what went wrong for Congress | Explained

BJP pulled off a stunning victory in Chhattisgarh, defying all predictions to dismantle Congress government. There are many factors that led to the Congress' debacle.

BJP has defied all predictions to dismantle Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government in Chhattisgarh. The Congress' debacle can be attributed to various factors, including tensions at the highest level of state leadership as well as the allegations of corruption against the government.
NO TAKERS FOR BAGHEL&rsquo;S MAHADEV APP DEFENCE
Days before the elections, the Enforcement Directorate linked CM Bhupesh Baghel to the alleged Mahadev betting app scam case. BJP used this opportunity to attack the Congress in all rallies.
Apart from the Mahadev app controversy, the ED has is also probing other alleged scams such as those related to the paddy, excise, mining and coal levy.
CONGRESS FACTIONAL FEUD HIT ELECTION PROSPECTS
The rivalry between Baghel and his deputy TS Singhdeo for the top post could not be hidden and the BJP took full advantage of it. BJP's chief campaigner PM Narendra Modi in his rallies frequently took potshots at the Congress leadership. &nbsp; CENTRE&rsquo;S KISAN DOLE A HIT WITH FARMERS
Despite tall promises by the Congress to get farmers excellent value for their crop, it appears that Centre's PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, under which farmers got ₹6,000 yearly, impressed them more.
BJP PROMISE TO WIPE OUT NAXALS RECEIVED WELL
The state has been battling the Naxal problem for a long time. This was true even when BJP's Raman Singh-led government ruled the state for years. However, Home Minister Amit Shah took it upon himself to convince the people that only his party can root out the menace.
CONGRESS&rsquo; FAILURE TO BAN LIQUOR COST DEAR
In the 2018 assembly election, Congress had promised to ban liquor in the state, a move to gain support of the women voters. However, the promise was never realised and the BJP did not miss the opportunity to remind the voters of this failed promise.

The Congress’ attempt to break the decades old revolving door tradition in Rajasthan has fallen flat with the BJP securing a thumping victory in a state where the saffron party had mounted attack over women safety.

Rajasthan elections: Gehlot fails to break revolving door; what worked for BJP | Explained

The Congress&rsquo; attempt to break the decades old revolving door tradition in Rajasthan has fallen flat with the BJP securing a thumping victory in a state where the saffron party had mounted attack over women safety.

The mandate of Rajasthan is clear. Defying the exit poll predictions of a close contest, BJP posted a landslide victory over the ruling Congress, The state retained the tradition of changing governments every five years as the outgoing Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot failed to break the revolving door. As the BJP won despite not declaring CM face, it is clear that PM Narendra Modi's guarantees prevailed over that of Congress'.
What were the key factors that led to the Congress' debacle?
Gehlot-Pilot feud:
One of the main reasons for Congress' defeat is the infighting between two factions. Gehlot Vs Pilot. The Congress government hadn't even completed two years in the state and Sachin Pilot with over a dozen MLAs were camping in a resort in BJP-ruled Haryana. The government was on the brink of collapse. But the 'jaadugar' countered the move by securing the support of a vast majority of legislators, taking them to a resort in Jaipur. The government survived but the wound festered.
Paper leaks:
A major cause for concern for the Gehlot-led government was the numerous exam paper leaks. Between 2019 and 2022, at least eight government recruitment exams were cancelled due to paper leaks. The enraged the youth who were already distressed with unemployment woes. Given the magnitude of the defeat, it appears that the Congress lost the confidence of the young voters.
Women safety:
The BJP's campaign in the state was centred around women safety. The party portrayed the state as the worst in crime against women. PM Modi in all his rallies slammed the government over law and order. Despite Gehlot's rebuttal calling the BJP's allegations as outright lies, the charges appeared to have stuck.
Polarisation:
Even before the exit poll results were declared, CM Gehlot conceded that if BJP's tactics of polarisation worked, his party may lose the battle. Gehlot may have been right. BJP aggressively pushed its polarisation agenda, raking up the murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal. The party also slammed the state government for allowing Popular Front of India or PFI to hold rally in the state.
'Rewadi' race:
In the run up to the elections, the two major parties left no stone unturned in wooing the voters through the so-called 'rewadis' or freebies. Both parties made announced monetary assistance to women, subsiding gas cylinders and massive health cover packages. It was Modi's guarantees versus Congress' guarantees. The result shows it was Modi the people put their faith in.
Caste census:
Congress was betting big on the caste census plank. At every rally, Rahul Gandhi highlighted the under-representation of the backward classes in the policymaking. His famous 'only 3 OBCs out of 90 officers that run the country' appears to have failed to make a mark. Are there no takers for caste census in the state?
Road ahead for Congress:
Now that there is no CM post up for grabs, what will become of the Gehlot-Pilot rivalry? Who will lead the Opposition in the state given that the Lok Sabha elections are just around the corner. Will the party get their house in order? Numerous questions like these surround the party. How they respond to the loss would decide their fate in 2024. As it appears at this point, it 2024 could be a repeat of 2019 when the NDA bagged all 25 seats in the Hindi state and Congress got zero.

Scindia's gambit to quit Congress for BJP turned out to be successful as the saffron party dominated the Gwalior region in the elections.

Madhya Pradesh election: Jyotiraditya Scindia's gambit worked as BJP dominates Gwalior

Scindia's gambit to quit Congress for BJP turned out to be successful as the saffron party dominated the Gwalior region in the elections.

In March 2020, Rahul Gandhi's trusted friend Jyotiraditya Scindia dealt a body blow to the Congress as he walked out of the party with 22 MLAs, bringing down the Kamal Nath-led Congress government. While Shivraj Singh Chouhan was crowned as the chief minister, the Maharaja was given a plum post at the Centre.
As the assembly election approached, there was disquiet in the saffron party owing to factionalism. There was a rivalry between the BJP old timers in the state and the Congress turncoats that Scindia brought with him. Both factions were vying for tickets and it appeared that this may hurt the party's prospects.
As the poll battle heated up, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi called him a &ldquo;traitor&rdquo;. In a jibe, Gandhi said that Scindia was short in height but his arrogance was big.
Despite the attacks, from the Congress and from within his party, Scindia's gambit turned out to be a success. As the BJP is poised for a massive win in Madhya Pradesh, the party dominated in the Gwalior, region which is a Scindia stronghold.

Assembly elections: NCP chief Sharad Pawar speaks on INDIA bloc’s stability

As BJP is on track to win big in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said the outcome of the elections will not impact the INDIA alliance.

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday said the outcome of the Assembly elections in four states will not have any impact on the INDIA bloc, which comprises more than 25 opposition parties led by the Congress.
After initial rounds of counting, the Bharatiya Janata Party seems set to snatch power from the Congress in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and retain it in Madhya Pradesh.
The Congress is leading on 65 out of 199 seats in Telangana, while the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, which was ruling the state for the past 10 years, is ahead on 39 seats.
"I don't think this will have any impact on the INDIA alliance. We will be meeting at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence in Delhi. We will speak to those who know the ground reality. We will be able to comment on it after the meeting only," Pawar said.
One must accept that the current trends are in favour of the BJP, the NCP chief and Opposition stalwart added.
On the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS trailing the Congress in the southern state, Pawar said it would be too early to say anything.
"Earlier, it was assumed the BRS would retain Telangana. However, after Rahul Gandhi's rally, which received a huge response, we realised there will be change in the state," Pawar claimed.
Pawar's NCP is part of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), which was formed to take on the ruling BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Assembly polls were held in the month of November in Chhattisgarh (7 and 17), Mizoram (7), Madhya Pradesh (17), Rajasthan (25) and Telangana (30).&nbsp;

'Married woman cannot allege rape by live-in partner on false pretext of marriage'

The court emphasized that while adults have the right to choose their relationships, they should be aware of the consequences involved.

A woman who is already married to someone else cannot claim to have been induced into a sexual relationship under the false pretext of marriage, the Delhi High Court has said while quashing a rape case against a man, also married, by his live-in partner.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, in an order released on Thursday, noted the case involved two individuals who were both ineligible to lawfully marry each other but were living together pursuant to a "live-in relationship agreement", and the protection and remedies available under Section 376 (punishment for rape) of the Indian Penal Code cannot be extended to such a "victim".
The judge observed that a live-in relationship between two consenting adults, who are married to different partners, has not been made a criminal offence, and while the parties have the right to determine their own choices, both men and women should "remain conscious of the repercussions" of such a relationship.

As Congress won the Telangana assembly elections, the spotlight is yet again on Priyanka Gandhi who after Karnataka has delivered another state for her Congress party.

After Karnataka, how Priyanka Gandhi delivered Telangana for Congress | Analysis

As Congress won the Telangana assembly elections, the spotlight is yet again on Priyanka Gandhi who after Karnataka has delivered another state for her Congress party.

&ldquo;...You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.&rdquo; And &lsquo;Indiramma's&rsquo; granddaughter just followed what she had said years ago. Buoyed by the confidence of successfully leading Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh to victories, Priyanka Gandhi got it right in India's newest state, Telangana, as well. The Congress general secretary struck all right cords when she invoked the victory in the neighbouring state, when she wooed women voters, when she claimed that there was nexus between BJP, BRS and the AIMIM. She emerged as the figurehead in Congress' fight in Telangana where K Chandrashekhar Rao's Bharat Rashtra Samithi had a comparatively stronger foothold until six months back. It was her result-yielding lead role in Karnataka that allowed the Telugu people to instill their confidence in her familiarity. When the grand old party's campaign had hit a roadblock in Karnataka after Rahul Gandhi's disqualification following his conviction in a defamation case, it was Priyanka who had brought the party back on track. A senior leader from Congress had described Priyanka's political skills saying, "She doesn't like addressing people from a distance. She doesn't like to be restricted and she is at her best when left amidst women." And rightly so! Whether it be increasing the involvement of women in the organisational set-up or her folk dance performances or getting down from her vehicle to join women on tractors or exhibiting her caring self when facing women in trouble, with her beaming smile she has won the admiration of women voters across the states. It was not just her endearing persona that Telangana banked upon but also her scathing attacks on the rival parties that resonated with the people of the state. From discarding KCR's claims of &lsquo;Bangaru Telangana&rsquo; to raising the issues of &lsquo;land, sand, wine and mine mafias&rsquo;, Priyanka drove the narrative in Telangana that became a new state when the United Progressive Alliance was in the centre in 2014. Apart from her political deftness, her resemblance to her grandmother Indira Gandhi rang a bell. In May, Priyanka had said, "You are calling me the new Indiramma, then trust me. I will not make false promises." Result showed her appeal stuck with locals when they voted on November 30.

He told opposition parties to not support those working against the country's interests at a time when development is taking place at a fast pace.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed BJP's big win in the assembly polls as a victory for his government's agenda of self-reliant India, asserting that its hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of its hat-trick of Lok Sabha poll wins in 2024.
"The results show popular support for our battle against corruption," he told a crowd of cheering supporters at the BJP headquarters here, adding that they have served a lesson to the Congress and the opposition's INDIA bloc that mere collecting some dynasts on dais may make for a good photograph but cannot win people's confidence.
No one should come in between the Centre's development and people, or the masses will remove them, Modi said in a stinging attack on opposition parties.
Some people are already saying our hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of hat-trick in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, he said.
He told opposition parties to not support those working against the country's interests at a time when development is taking place at a fast pace. Addressing a big gathering of BJP members, including many Union ministers, Modi said these results will ensure the world's belief in India and infuse more confidence into global investors for the country.

'The hat-trick in three states has guaranteed a hat-trick in 2024,&rsquo; he said.&nbsp;
These results will echo across the world and assure investors globally about India's development potential he added.&nbsp;
PM Modi took a dig at the Opposition saying that the latter tried to 'divide the country on caste lines during the elections'.
