While the BJP retained its power in four states, the Aam Aadmi Party swept all the political parties in Punjab. By the way, these elections remained in the discussion because of more faces than the parties. In Punjab, Uttarakhand, only the incumbent CM lost the election. In Punjab too, many big leaders had to face defeat, then Yogi Adityanath managed to get the BJP victory for the second time in Uttar Pradesh. In 10 questions, know what happened in the election results and what is the meaning of these results.
- The BJP won four out of five states. Its seats decreased in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, but gained in Manipur and Goa.
- The slogan given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in one of his rally proved to be correct. Yogi proved useful for BJP in Uttar Pradesh.
- The results of Punjab were astonishing. Here the Congress suffered a lot in the wave of the Aam Aadmi Party. The Akali Dal also lost seats.
- BJP is going to form the government again in Uttarakhand. However, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami himself lost the election.
- In Goa too, the BJP remained one seat away from the majority. Now it needs support to form the government.
- The BJP has done wonders in Manipur and for the first time seems to be crossing a clear majority.
- When the wave comes, even the big leaders lose the elections. This was proved once again by the results of Punjab. Here the sweep of the Aam Aadmi Party went such that whether the Chief Minister, whether the Deputy Chief Minister and whether the former Chief Minister, all lost. Current CM Charanjit Singh Channi was in the fray from not one, but two seats each. He was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party candidates in both Bhadaur and Chamkaur Sahib seats.
- Former Akali Dal chief and five-time chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, 94, also lost the election from his traditional seat, Lambi. Former Chief Minister and Punjab Lok Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh lost from Patiala, former Deputy Chief Minister and Akali chief Sukhbir Singh Badal from Jalalabad, outgoing Deputy CM of Punjab OP Soni from Amritsar Central and Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu from Amritsar East. All these big faces of Punjab were defeated by the candidates of Aam Aadmi Party.
- Talking about Uttarakhand, the current Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami lost from Khatima seat here. On the other hand, in Uttar Pradesh, Swami Prasad Maurya and Dharam Singh Saini, who left the BJP and joined the SP, lost. BJP’s firebrand leader Sangeet Som, education minister in Yogi government Satish Dwivedi, sugarcane minister Suresh Rana in UP government and union minister SP Singh Baghel also faced defeat.
- Now back to Uttar Pradesh. The predictions made in 11 out of 14 exit polls about the results of this state turned out to be correct. The BJP managed to win the election for the second time in a row, but it suffered a loss of seats. With this, the BJP became the first party to form the government for the second consecutive time in the state after 1985. Earlier, the Congress had won the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections for two consecutive terms in 1980 and again in 1985.
- Talking about the seats, according to the situation till 8 pm, the BJP and its allies are getting more than 270 seats in the state, which is less than the last time. At the same time, SP is getting 124 seats. He got a lot from the last time, but not so much that Akhilesh Yadav could think of forming the government. SP harmed both BJP and BSP. Let us inform that in Uttar Pradesh with 403 seats, the majority figure is 202.
The trend of changing the government in every election in Uttarakhand was broken this time. Congress seats increased here. She was tied 34-34 in the initial trends, but later fell far behind the BJP and the contest turned one-sided in favor of the BJP. Here it was assumed that the Aam Aadmi Party would win some seats, but it remained empty handed. In 70-seat Uttarakhand, the BJP is getting 47 seats despite a loss of about 10 seats, which is more than the majority mark of 36 seats.
Aam Aadmi Party’s storm hit Punjab. She is going to form the government for the first time outside Delhi, that too with a three-fourth majority. The majority figure in Punjab with 117 seats is 59 and the Aam Aadmi Party is winning 92 seats. Congress suffered the most. It was reduced to just 18 seats. The Congress lost more than 55 seats and the Akalis lost more than 10 seats.
The results of Goa will also be considered in favor of BJP. The BJP is winning 20 seats in 40-seat Goa, but will easily cross the 21-seat majority mark with allies. Lastly, the matter of Manipur. To form the government in Manipur with 60 seats, the figure of 31 is needed. According to the situation till 8 pm, BJP can reach 32 seats. It can get majority on its own for the first time. Congress has lost more than 20 seats here.
It can be said that the magic of Modi remains intact, as the BJP has won four out of five states. The discussion was more about Punjab, but the results of UP matter for the BJP, where the party in its campaign kept emphasizing the importance of Modi at the Center and Yogi in UP. BJP will easily form the government in Uttarakhand. He will not have much trouble in Goa-Manipur. He is out of the race for power only in Punjab, where he never had any land in the entire state.
In 2017, when elections were being held in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi was not in the race for the chief minister’s post. BJP fought that election keeping PM Modi’s face in front. Later Yogi became the CM. This time apparently the BJP contested the elections under his leadership. This election victory will strengthen Yogi’s hold in the BJP and further increase his acceptability in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It will be interesting to know how BJP will see him in the politics of the Center in future.
- The first name in this list is of Arvind Kejriwal. He is running the government in Delhi and now the victory in Punjab has put him on par with big faces like Mamata Banerjee in the anti-BJP faction. The total Lok Sabha seats of Delhi-Punjab is half that of Bengal, but now Kejriwal’s party will take over the power of two states. That is, the stature will be equal to the Congress, which is now in power only in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan on its own.
- All eyes are on Bhagwant Mann, who is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party. Kejriwal had declared him as the CM candidate. He has traveled from standup comedian to becoming CM candidate. If Bhagwant becomes CM, he will face the challenge of running the government on the lines of Kejriwal’s Delhi model.
- Despite losing the elections, if the BJP makes Pushkar Singh Dhami the chief minister, then his role will be strengthened in this state which has faced frequent change of leadership.
- The challenge before Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi will be to keep the Congress in the politics of the country.
The BJP managed to retain its power in 18 states. Another state slipped from the hands of Congress. After defeat in Punjab, now Congress is in power only in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh on its own. At the same time, it is an ally in coalition governments in Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Maharashtra.
