The matter is of the year 2020. The journey of Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh had ended in just one and a half years. After this, Bharatiya Janata Party returned to the state.
The main reason for this is considered to be Jyotiraditya Scindia, who even then had joined BJP along with the MLAs and changed the political picture.
Now, apart from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the support of BJP’s bumper victory in the state in 2023 seems to be tied to Scindia. There are many reasons for this also.
Difficult seats went to BJP
Scindia is considered to have dominance in the Gwalior-Chambal region. The total number of seats here is 34. In the elections held in 2018, BJP could get only 7 seats, which has increased to 18 in 2023.
These include many seats which BJP had lost earlier. It is being said that earlier there were estimates that BJP would not be able to even touch the double digit figure in this area.
Now there is one seat here, Bhitarwar, where BJP has been out for 20 years. This time Scindia’s own supporter Mohan Singh Rathore defeated four-time Congress candidate Lakhan Singh Yadav by a huge margin of 22 thousand 354. He had held about 80 rallies in the state in the last 13 days. It is being said that his focus was especially on Malwa and Indore region.
Apart from this, some credit for BJP’s victory in Malwa-Nimar region is being given to Scindia. Here, 48 out of 66 seats have gone to BJP’s account this time. BJP has also captured all the 9 seats of Indore.
conference and coordination
According to a media report, Scindia also ensured that there is coordination between the new and old leaders of the BJP. He also came to meet him at the booth. Apart from this, he also organized social conferences, where he talked to different communities about BJP. It is being told that he had organized more than 45 conferences.
However, during this time, his supporters considered to be Mahendra Sisodia (Bamori), Rajyavardhan Singh (Dattigaon), Suresh Dhakad (Rathkheda), Jaipal Singh Jajji (Ashoknagar), Kamlesh Jatav (Ambah), Imrati Devi (Dabra), Raghuraj Singh Kansana ( Morena), Maya Singh (Gwalior East), Hirendra Singh (Raghagarh) have faced defeat.
