Bhopal/Raipur/Chattisgarh: In a pivotal turn of events, early vote counts on Sunday revealed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) taking a commanding lead in three crucial Hindi heartland states—Madhya Pradesh (MP), Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan.

All the three Hindi heartland States had gone to the Congress in 2018. The rout of the Congress in these States is being equated on one side with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and popularity and also his agenda of development, progress of all and stress on the cultural values and civilisational primacy of Bharat and on the other, Congress party’s and more particularly it’s leader Rahul Gandhi’s policy of appeasement of Muslims, divisive politics revolving around his full throated bid to divide India on caste lines and utter silence when political allies attack Sanatan dharma. The Congress stand on these issues was a recipe for defeat. Major credit for Congress success in Telangana should go to just one leader and that’s the Telangana Pradesh Congress President, Revanth Reddy. The Revanth factor notwithstanding, BJP got squarely beaten in Telangana as it banked more on wrong leaders, wrong caste equation and wrong alliances in that State- Lalit Shastri

The 15:12 data Sunday afternoon from the Election Commission of India (ECI) displayed the BJP’s dominance, particularly with the party leading in 150 seats in MP and 110 seats in Rajasthan. Meanwhile, the Congress trailed behind, holding 70 seats in MP and 69 in Rajasthan.

In Chhattisgarh, a fierce competition unfolded, with the BJP and Congress locked in a neck-and-neck battle. The BJP led on 46 seats, while Congress stayed ahead on 40 seats.

However, the Congress managed to outshine the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, showcasing a significant surge in the early results.

These early trends underscore the BJP’s unwavering political prowess in these key states, positioning the party with a substantial advantage as the nation gears up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The massive victory in MP suggests that incumbent Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has successfully overcome anti-incumbency, solidifying the BJP’s dominance in the region.
