Chhattisgarh Election Result 2023 Live: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged victorious in the 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, securing its biggest-ever win in the state. The BJP won 54 seats while the INC won 35. Gondvana Gantantra Party – GGP gathered just one seat. The BJP’s resounding victory marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Chhattisgarh. This decisive outcome underscores the BJP’s growing popularity and its ability to connect with voters on a multitude of issues, including economic development, social welfare, and governance. The BJP, which had previously been in power in Chhattisgarh for 15 years, had seen an abrupt end of rule in the 2018 Assembly elections. The Congress had in 2018 secured a sweeping victory with 68 seats, while the BJP was limited to 15 seats. This marked the Congress’s first electoral triumph and government formation in the state, achieving a resounding mandate.
The polling in the state was held in two phases on November 7 and then on November 17. The exit poll results which were out on November 30, clearly favored the Congress, with the majority of surveys placing the Bhupesh Baghel-led party in the lead. The Congress in its campaign started out strong and showed quite some confidence in retaining its power in the state. But then the BJP high command entered the arena. Many central leaders were seen visiting the state which then started creating a favourable atmosphere for them.
