Chhattisgarh Assembly Election Result 2023: Who won, who lost

Chhattisgarh conducted its elections in two phases on November 7 and November 17 to choose the members of its sixth Legislative Assembly. The state comprises 90 Assembly seats, with 29 reserved for Scheduled Tribes (STs) and 10 for Scheduled Castes (SCs). The current Assembly's tenure spans from January 4, 2019, to January 3, 2024. Mizoram held its elections on November 7 alongside Chhattisgarh, while Madhya Pradesh voted on November 17 concurrently with the second phase of polling in Chhattisgarh. Rajasthan and Telangana are set to vote on November 25 and November 30 respectively. The culmination of these elections will see the results for all five assemblies declared on December 3.

In Chhattisgarh, the BJP has surged ahead, securing 34 seats and leading in 20, poised to take over from Congress, which has claimed 20 seats and leads in 15. The BJP's electoral promises, under the banner of 'Modi ki Guarantee 2023', notably influenced the tribal-dominated state's outcome. Contrary to the 2018 elections, where Congress rode anti-incumbency and welfare pledges to victory, the BJP this time offered populist assurances such as favorable paddy procurement rates and financial aid for married women. Prime Minister Narendra Modi credited the win to India's support for good governance and development, while Union Minister Amit Shah highlighted the trust shown by tribal communities, the poor, and farmers. The BJP's victory unfolded despite entering the elections without a clear CM candidate, while Congress, earlier in power with 71 seats, now faces a significant shift in the state's political landscape.

On Sunday, during the assembly election results in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured victories, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to thank the people for their support. In Chhattisgarh, the BJP led in 54 out of 90 Assembly seats, while the Congress trailed with 34 seats. Additionally, Prime Minister Modi pledged ongoing support for Telangana, where the BJP's impact was limited amid a two-way battle between the BRS and Congress.
