The goal of returning to power and also the question of credibility! Is it necessary for BJP to win Gujarat-Himachal elections?
BJP started the year 2022 with a bumper victory, by grabbing power in 4 out of 5 states, the party proved that it is fully prepared for 2024, of course, that election was called a semi-final, but it So this was just the beginning of the election cycle. BJP has to give many such exams till the general elections to be held in 2024, Himachal and Gujarat elections are its next phase. There is a BJP government in both the states, in such a situation it becomes more important for the party to win here, apart from being the home state of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, the credibility of both the leaders is also at stake. Election dates have been formally announced in Himachal and Gujarat is yet to be announced, although all the warriors who have come in the election season are engaged in counter-attacks using the arrows of their quiver.
Will the winning streak continue?
Before the general elections are to be held in 2024, the challenge is to maintain the winning momentum in front of the BJP, since the beginning of 2022, the BJP, which has formed the government in four states in five, is high, if the party wins in Himachal and Gujarat, then it will be It will benefit in the coming elections of other states. Because the fiasco of the election season will continue in 2023 as well. Actually, assembly elections are proposed in Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura in the month of March. After two months, elections are to be held in Karnataka as well. Where BJP will have to prove itself once again. By the time of December next year, elections are also to be held in big states like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Madhya Pradesh, except Madhya Pradesh, there is no BJP government anywhere.
The credibility of PM Modi and Amit Shah is at stake
Gujarat is the home state of both PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, so victory or defeat here will be directly linked to both the leaders. BJP is in power in the state since 1995, PM Modi himself has been the CM of the state for 13 years, after the resignation of Keshubhai Patel in 2001, he took over the power of the state. Although political analysts believe that the BJP has weakened after Modi’s move to Delhi, there were some indications of this in the 2017 elections, although the reason for the BJP’s weak performance at that time was attributed to the Patidar movement.
Double engine test
In its campaign, BJP strongly says that people are getting double benefit of double engine government, BJP will have to go through double engine test many times till the general elections. BJP has proved its double engine power in UP-Uttarakhand and Goa, in Himachal and Gujarat also the party is counting the benefits of double engine government, the works of the state as well as the central government are being told, recently During rallies in Himachal and Gujarat, PM Modi has put the power of double engine government in front of the public by launching and laying the foundation stone of schemes worth thousands of crores.
Wrong message will go to the public
In Gujarat and Himachal, BJP is contesting elections on the face of Modi, posters of PM Modi have been put up in every street, especially during the Gujarat Expo, only PM Modi’s posters were visible on the streets, so those states Where BJP is already in power, it will directly send a message of weakness of the party, if BJP is ousted from power in any state, then it will have a wrong effect on the Lok Sabha elections. According to political analysts, the perception among the people will also be strengthened that even after fighting on the face of Modi, BJP can be defeated.
Aim to return to power
BJP is occupied in Gujarat for the last 27 years, so there is not much trouble here, but the myth of change of power in Himachal remains difficult for the party, the party wants to retain its hold on Himachal Pradesh by any means under the mission repeat Apart from this, by winning the sixth consecutive election in Gujarat, she wants to make a record of running the government in a state for the longest time.
