Chattisgarh is also likely to play Karnataka

The start of the second round of elections in Chhattisgarh state of India. In the first phase of the 90-seat assembly, voting was held on November 12 in 18 constituencies in the extensive slum area called Naxalite base. And today begins on Tuesday for the remaining 72 constituencies. These centers will decide whether the BJP will hold the state for five more years, or will the Congress-led alliance in the hope of raising the head of the Third Alliance just before the vote? Will the government be the criterion to be formed?

Chhattisgarh is the only BJP-ruled state, where the ruling party is not dependent on Narendra Modi. Chief Minister Raman Singh, the 18-year-old state's tallest head, for 15 years. Beyond medical and politics, BJP is looking at this 'indigenous people'. Raman Singh's image is the trust of the ruling party.

But the fight is different now. The first three camps were divided into state politics. On one hand, the ruling BJP, on the other hand, his strong opponent Congress The first head of the two Congress leaders and the first Chief Minister of the state Ajit Jogir, Chhattisgarh Janata Congress, Dalit leader Mayawati Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and CPI Jogi, Mayawati and CPI alliance have become the cause of headlines for the main parties. The BJP, the Congress, the coalition alliance is going to throw a lot of food, now it is a matter of research.

And after the vote, the Karnataka drama will be staged in Chhattisgarh.

46 percent of Chhattisgarh's population is Scheduled Caste and backward and 31 percent tribal. Yet the most popular Chief Minister Raman Singh Jatte Rajput, whose numbers are less than 2 percent in the state. This example is almost non-existent in caste-based culture. The only reason for Raman Singh's acceptance is not to pull politics and maintain neutrality in administration. But this does not mean that in the last 15 years, he was able to make the mistake of Chhattisgarh. Rather, it can be said that claiming credibility as a claim is almost rare for him. Buses below the poverty line in the state are still about 48 percent. 18 years ago when the formation of the state, the rate was less than 1 percent. According to human development indicators, the state is ranked 23rd. Less than eight thousand per month of income per month. The number of registered unemployed is 2.6 million, which is 12.5 percent of the total population of the state. During the formation of the state, Naxalite influence was in 8 districts, today it has consumed 18 districts. In spite of this figure, Raman Singh is the most popular leader of his team. The BJP is in the hope of surrounded him.

In Chhattisgarh, the vote gap between the BJP and the Congress was never more than 2 percent. In the last assembly elections, the BJP got only 77.7 percent more vote than the Congress. Only one to one-and-a-half percent of the vote is enough to make the transition. When the Congress was trying to remove the long-party 15-year-old BJP, the union of Yogi-Mayawati was the only one meeting the hope. This coalition primarily excited the BJP. Because, they thought that the anger of the people against the ruling party would be shared with this new coalition like the Congress. But as the day progressed, the BJP's guillotine became dark. Concerned stars like Congress Whoever votes will pull more than the new alliance, that study is endless. In the last elections, BJP has captured 43 of these 72 seats.

This new polarization of state politics has given birth to the possibility of the replay of the Karnataka drama in Chhattisgarh. The BJP is the largest party in Karnataka, but the third-party secular publicity party (JDS), which has not been able to occupy power, has left the Congress chief minister. According to the last survey of 'C-Voter', the Yogi, Mayawati and CPI alliance could turn 20 in the vote and get 12-15 seats. Who can say, then to stop the BJP, Rahul Gandhi will not let his old associate Ajit Jogi go to the Chief Minister's seat?

Ajit Jogi is looking like a crooked bird on the potential fruit. He was the first Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh as the leader of the Congress after the new statehood. In the second phase, the leader of the state's small ethnic group is looking forward to receiving this honor once more.
