After the landslide victory in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur, the BJP has started planning for the assembly elections to be held later this year and in 2023. PM Narendra Modi will be the face of BJP in the elections to be held in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in the year 2023.
According to sources, work is being done to bring the new generation forward in these states. After the election, the new face of the CM will be brought to the fore. BJP has prepared a complete strategy for the elections to be held in November 2022 in Gujarat, Himachal and 2023. Let us tell what is maths in which state…
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had been CM for three consecutive terms. In the December 2018 assembly elections, Chouhan could not take the BJP to the door of power. The BJP was left behind from the Congress by a few seats, due to which the Congress government was formed in Madhya Pradesh on 17 December 2018 under the leadership of Kamal Nath.
After a year and a half, BJP toppled the Kamal Nath government through political mathematics, after which Shivraj Singh Chauhan became CM for the fourth time in March 2020. Now BJP is trying to develop a new leadership in Madhya Pradesh. There is also a discussion within the party that Shivraj Singh Chouhan can be brought into the politics of the Center anytime, which will help in preparing the leadership for the future generation in Madhya Pradesh. As long as Shivraj remains in Madhya Pradesh, it will not be possible to develop a new leadership. Anyway, Madhya Pradesh is a very important state for the BJP, which it does not want to lose under any circumstances. Ever since Jyotiraditya Scindia joined BJP, his stature has been increasing continuously. Everyone is in some position or the other.
BJP will not repeat Raman Singh in Chhattisgarh!
Raman Singh was the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh for three consecutive terms from 2004 to November 2018. The BJP had to face defeat in the December 2018 assembly elections. There the Congress government was formed.
In such a situation, BJP now wants to bring a new face in Chhattisgarh, who can play a long innings for the party. With this it is also certain that BJP will not bring any new face before 2023. This will lead to increased factionalism within the party. In such a situation, the assembly elections will be held only under the leadership of Modi. A new face will be revealed only after the election results are out.
Interesting clash of Vasundhara vs Central leadership in Rajasthan
The BJP, which formed the government in Rajasthan with a thumping majority in December 2013, had to face defeat in the December 2018 assembly elections under the leadership of Vasundhara Raje. In the Lok Sabha elections held six months later, the BJP got a landslide victory in the name of Modi. BJP had captured 25 seats in the state. Congress had to face a crushing defeat.
Vasundhara has been dominating the BJP in Rajasthan for the last two decades, but now the party is looking for a new leadership in Rajasthan. Supporters of Vasundhara are continuously demanding to declare her as the CM face, but going to Rajasthan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also given a clear indication that the 2023 assembly elections will be fought under the leadership of Narendra Modi. No person will be made a face in the election.
This is being considered a big political message for the party as well. The party will bring a face after the assembly elections, so that the leadership crisis does not arise in front of the party in Rajasthan for the next one to two decades.
Jairam’s leadership questioned due to defeat in Himachal by-election
Himachal may be a small state for BJP, but the state is very important for BJP. In the by-elections held in November last year, the BJP suffered a major defeat from Mandi Lok Sabha and Arki, Jubbal Kotkhai and Fatehpur assembly seats. After this, BJP has become serious about the leadership of CM Jairam Thakur.
Party’s national president JP Nadda also comes from this state. The way BJP has won in Uttarakhand, on the same lines, the party wants to make a comeback in the assembly elections to be held in November this year. Not only this, the party also wants to break the tradition, in which once the Congress government and the second time the BJP government has been formed till now. BJP has also done this in Uttarakhand.
Leadership change has happened in these states
Gujarat: Assembly elections will be held in Gujarat at the end of this year. In September 2021, just 15 months before the elections, the then CM Vijay Rupani was replaced by the BJP. First time MLA Bhupendra Patel was made CM. Similarly, the cabinet was also reshuffled.
In a way, an attempt was made to reduce the public displeasure to some extent by changing the leadership. Gujarat is the home state of PM Narendra Modi and Union Minister of State for Home Amit Shah. In such a situation, it is necessary for the Modi and Shah pair to keep the BJP strong in this state, so that the message does not go to the country that their hold is starting to weaken in the home state itself.
Karnataka: BJP removed BS Yeddyurappa, who has crossed the age of 78, from the post of CM and made Basavaraj Bommai the new CM. Yeddyurappa was the oldest CM in BJP ruled states. In general, the BJP is not keeping leaders who have crossed the age of 75 for the post of Union Minister, Minister or Chief Minister. Keeping this in view, this change was made. There will also be assembly elections in May 2023. In such a situation, BJP will get full opportunity to prepare.
Uttarakhand: BJP removed the then CM Trivendra Singh Rawat after four years of running the government in Uttarakhand. After that Tirath Singh Rawat was given the command, but after a few months he was removed and second time MLA Pushkar Singh Dhami was made CM. For this, BJP Uttarakhand
