Raipur: Following BJP’s victory in the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, discussions intensify over the new Chief Minister in the state. The change in government has triggered social media debates between BJP and Congress. Newly elected MLA Ajay Chandrakar took a dig at Congress’s review meeting, tweeting that while Congress leaders are heading to Delhi for defeat analysis, Delhi seems more interested in the five-year performance than Congress’s balance sheet, which might be elusive.
The Congress, facing a decisive defeat in the state, has scheduled a review meeting in Delhi on December 8th. Consequently, the outgoing Chief Minister, Bhupesh Baghel, is set to travel to Delhi on Thursday evening via a regular flight. The meeting will include senior leaders and involve a national-level analysis of the election loss, chaired by National President Mallikarjun Kharge. State in-charge Kumari Shelja and PCC Chief Deepak Baij will also be present.
The Twitter comment by Ajay Chandrakar hints at a potential disarray within the Congress ranks, questioning the party’s priorities in the face of a significant electoral setback. The focus on the party’s balance sheet, as mentioned in the tweet, implies that the internal dynamics and decision-making processes within Congress might be under scrutiny.
The meeting in Delhi is expected to be a crucial platform for Congress to introspect and strategize a way forward. The presence of national leaders indicates the high significance attached to this review, as it transcends regional boundaries and becomes a matter of national party interest.
As the political landscape in Chhattisgarh undergoes a transformation with the change in power dynamics, the internal rifts and external commentary on social media reflect the challenges and opportunities both BJP and Congress face in shaping the narrative and rebuilding their political strategies in the state. The outcome of this review meeting and the subsequent actions taken by Congress will likely have implications not only in Chhattisgarh but also on the party’s national image and trajectory.
