Within the final three days, the BJP has sprung three large surprises throughout Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The get together not solely did elect CM faces having low likelihood and totally different castes but additionally introduced six deputy chief ministers from different backgrounds to set its solid equations proper. That is BJP’s social engineering at work.
If we begin from Chhattisgarh, the state now has a tribal (ST) chief as Chief Minister in Vishnu Deo Sai. Chhattisgarh has a 32 per cent tribal inhabitants which accounts for round 7.5% of the nation’s complete tribal inhabitants. Sai hails from the Sahu (Teli) group which has a large presence within the Durg, Raipur and Bilaspur divisions. The get together additionally made Arun Sao and Vijay Sharma Deputy Chief Ministers. Sao is an OBC chief whereas Sharma is a Brahmin. Alternatively, Raman Singh has been made speaker to maintain the get together’s Rajput votes intact.
Then there comes Madhya Pradesh. Right here get together elected OBC chief Mohan Yadav because the Chief Minister and Jagdish Devda & Rajendra Shukla because the Deputy Chief Ministers. Devda belongs to the SC group, and Shukla is a Brahmin chief. Alternatively, Speaker-designate Narendra Singh Tomar hails from a Rajput household.
In Rajasthan, BJP made first time MLA and a Brahmin chief Bhajan Lal Sharma Chief Minister of the state. Former Lok Sabha MP Diya Kumari is likely one of the two Deputy Chief Ministers. A member of the previous Jaipur royal household, Diya Kumari is a Brahmin face and a lady chief. The opposite deputy CM is Prem Chand Bairwa, a member of the Dalit group.
The CM and Deputy CM decisions within the three states additionally mirror the emotions of their inhabitants and so they have been rightly given apt representations via these leaders,
Dalits make up over 16 per cent of India’s inhabitants, OBCs round 45 per cent and Brahmins and Rajputs round 10 per cent collectively. This fashion, the BJP has tried to woo round 71 per cent of the voters forward of the essential 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Now it will likely be essential to see whether or not Narendra Modi-Amit Shah’s masterplan makes the 2024 elections a cakewalk for the BJP or not.
Alternatively, the Congress which is but to get better from the surprising ballot losses in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh has some critical works at its disposal – bringing the India alliance on the identical platform by choosing a impartial chief as convenor and finalising the essential seat-sharing method for the Lok Sabha elections which is simply 5 months away. If the get together manages to finalise a seat-sharing method properly earlier than time, it would get an edge in opposition to the BJP within the contest.
