Political Landscape in Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh has traditionally been a battleground for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. However, in the 2018 elections, a third front led by the late Ajit Jogi’s Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) emerged. This alliance won seven seats, but the Congress secured a commanding majority with 68 seats. The BJP was reduced to 15 seats. The upcoming elections are an opportunity for the AAP to establish a stronger presence in the state, especially with the JCC (J) facing challenges after Ajit Jogi’s passing.

Other Contesting Parties

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will contest the elections in alliance with the Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP). The Congress and the BJP have already declared their candidates for most of the seats, with the Congress announcing its candidates for all 90 seats.
