Legislative Assembly elections were held in Chhattisgarh in two phases on 7 November and 17 November 2023 to elect all 90 members of Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly. The votes were counted and the results declared on 3 December 2023.[3]

Defying all pollsters and predictions, the BJP won an absolute majority with 54 seats, wresting power from the INC, which had won a landslide in 2018 but could win only 35 seats. This was also the BJP's biggest win in Chhattisgarh. On 13 December, BJP leader Vishnu Deo Sai took oath as the fourth chief minister of the state.

Background

The tenure of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 3 January 2024.[4] The previous assembly elections were held in November 2018. After the election, Indian National Congress formed the state government, with Bhupesh Baghel becoming Chief Minister.[5]

Schedule

The schedule of the election was announced by the Election Commission of India on 9 October 2023.[6][7]

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who addressed rallies and public meetings across the state. Baghel highlighted the party's achievements in government, such as the implementation of the RGKNY, the reduction in poverty, and the improvement in law and order. He also promised to continue working for the development of the state if the INC was re-electedThe INC also targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main opposition party in the state. Baghel accused the BJP of being anti-farmer and anti-poor, and of failing to develop the state when it was in power. He also criticized the BJP's central government for its policies, such as demonetization and GST, which he said had hurt the state's economy. The INC also targeted the BJP by using Adani in their campaign.[19]

Manifesto[20][21]

Bharatiya Janata Party

The party's manifesto, titled "Modi's Guarantee for Chhattisgarh 2023," promised to create one lakh new jobs, provide free electricity to farmers, and increase the minimum support price for paddy to ₹3,100 per quintal. The BJP also promised to improve infrastructure, healthcare, and education in the state.[22]

The BJP's campaign was led by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who addressed rallies across the state. Shah attacked the incumbent Congress government over alleged corruption, lawlessness, and the neglect of farmers and tribals.[23][24] He also accused the Congress of promoting religious conversion and appeasement politics.[25] Other senior BJP leaders who campaigned in Chhattisgarh included former Chief Minister Raman Singh, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, and party spokesperson Sambit Patra. They assured on the BJP's development record and the party's commitment to Hindutva.

The BJP also targeted the Congress government on the issue of Naxalism. The party alleged that the Congress was soft on Naxalites and that the state had witnessed an increase in Naxal violence in recent years.[26]

Manifesto[27][28]

In mid-afternoon on 7 November, the date of polling for the first phase, security personnel were injured in a gunfight in the southern villages of Tadmetla and Duled.[30]
