Assembly Elections 2023 Results: The Bharatiya Janata Party won a “historic” mandate in the Hindi heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh while Congress ousted Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government in Telangana in the results of four states declared on Sunday.
Hailing the party’s spectacular performance Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked the BJP scoring a hat-trick in next year’s Lok Sabha polls on the lines of hat-trick it scored in state polls.
The BJP ousted Congress from power in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and retained Madhya Pradesh.
The results in Hindi heartland states came as a shocker to Congress and a morale-booster to BJP, however, Congress leaders expressed happiness over victory in Telangana and said the results in the three states were disappointing and the party will rebuild itself in these areas.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said that the party will overcome “temporary setbacks” and prepare fully for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections along with the INDIA parties.
The BJP completed a dominant conquest of the Hindi heartland– retaining power in Madhya Pradesh, and securing a comfortable majority in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
In Madhya Pradesh, the incumbent Shivraj Chouhan-led dispensation won a whopping 163 seats against rival Congress’ 65, while in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, they wrested power from the grand-old party, winning 54 and 115 seats respectively.
Exit-polls had given an edge to the Congress in Chhattisgarh, however, the BJP proved poll-pundits wrong like it had prophesized on the eve of vote counting.
Rajasthan seems to have followed the over three-decade old trend of rotating governments and the Congress government led by Ashok Gehlot has been replaced with BJP dispensation.
BJP has set a record in Madhya Pradesh by retaining power again after having ruled the state for 18 of the past 20 years, while the Congress under former CM Kamal Nath– which was expected to give a tough contest to the ruling party– surrendered meekly.
The Congress convincingly won Telangana for the first time in a shock for the ruling BRS which was in power in India’s youngest state for the past 10 years.
Congress ended up with a clear majority, winning 64 seats, as it cashed-in on the anti-incumbency against factor against the ruling BRS who came in second-best with 39 seats.
Victory in Karnataka in assembly polls earlier this year enthused Congress workers in Telangana and the party ran a strong campaign bolstered by its leaders from different parts of the country.
