In the aftermath of state elections held in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, and Telangana, exit polls are unveiling a potential political upheaval, with the Congress party positioned for significant victories. These projections could pose a considerable challenge for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is grappling with growing concerns about its policies and leadership. The final election results are slated to be declared on December 3, 2023.
Mizoram: MNF Poised for Victory
In Mizoram, boasting 40 parliamentary seats and a commendable voter turnout of 78.40%, the local party MNF (Mizo National Front) is anticipated to secure victory with an estimated 14 to 15 seats. According to exit polls, Congress is projected to secure around 13 to 14 seats, while the BJP is not anticipated to win any seats in the region.
Growing Dissatisfaction in North East States
The political landscape in the North East, including states like Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, and Assam, is witnessing a shift in public sentiment. Recent heinous incidents, such as the gangrape and public humiliation of two women in Manipur, have cast a shadow over the BJP-led government’s credibility. The prolonged silence from the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this matter for more than two months has further fueled discontent.
Loss of Trust in BJP: A Game-Changer for 2024?
The disturbing incident in Manipur has significantly eroded trust in the BJP and Prime Minister Modi in the North East. The sentiment is reflected in exit polls, with the prediction that the BJP may face challenges in the upcoming 2024 elections in the region. The loss of faith in BJP’s governance and responsiveness to critical issues is a factor that might influence electoral outcomes.
Anticipation for December 3: The Verdict Day
As the nation eagerly awaits the official declaration of results on December 3, 2023, the political landscape appears to be undergoing transformation, with the Congress party gaining momentum and the BJP facing challenges amid concerns. The final results will not only shape the future of these states but could also have broader implications for the national political scenario.
