The elections in Chhattisgarh were held in two phases. Voting for the first phase was held on November 7 and for the second on November 17.

Like Madhya Pradesh, the electoral fight in Chattisgarh is largely between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). While the Congress and the BJP have fielded candidates in all 230 seats, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is contesting 183 seats, Samajwadi Party on 71 and Aam Aadmi Party on 66.

The Congress, which is in power, is looking to retain its government in the state. The Bharatiya Janata Party, on the other hand, is hoping to gain a victory as the polls also come ahead of the Lok Sabha elections next year.

The BJP’s poll campaign was spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who targeted Baghel over corruption, particularly the alleged Mahadev betting app scam and recruitment controversy.

On the other hand, the Congress based its campaign on a slew of welfare schemes rolled out by Bhupesh Baghel-led government for farmers, women, tribals and Dalits, and accused the Centre of handing over resources to some industrialists.

Earlier this week, several exit polls predicted a clear advantage to Congress in a neck-and-neck contest with the BJP in Chhattisgarh.

According to the India Today-Axis My India poll, the Congress is likely to win between 40 and 50 seats, whereas as the BJP is likely to win between 36 and 46 seats. The agency has predicted between 1 and 5 seats for others. These results can also culminate in a hung assembly.
