BJP Identifies Weak Seats in MP & Chhattisgarh Ahead of Assembly Polls

New Delhi: According to sources, the BJP has identified 125 “vulnerable” constituencies in Madhya Pradesh and 27 in Chhattisgarh, where the saffron party is “weak”.

On the basis of winning chances, the BJP has divided assembly segments in these two states into four categories. The seats on which the party has a good chance to win or is in a fight have been placed under A and B categories.

In the C and D categories, those assembly segments have been included where the BJP lost in last elections or where the party has never won.

At the BJP’s Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting discussions were held to chalk out strategies to win the elections on these “weak seats”.

Of 125 weak seats in Madhya Pradesh, the BJP lost in 103 seats in the 2018 Assembly elections. In the other 22, BJP’s win margin was too small.

Out of 27 weak seats in Chhattisgarh, five are those on which the BJP has never won while the remaining 22 are those, where the party’s victory margin was too small.

Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Telangana are to be held by the end of 2023.
