AAP in Madhya Pradesh Election 2023: Aam Aadmi Party has made a big announcement. The Aam Aadmi Party will contest all 230 seats in the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections to be held later this year. Aam Aadmi Party has also issued a missed call number for people to connect. Along with this, it has also been promised that the free facilities that the AAP government is providing in Punjab and Delhi. It will also be given in Madhya Pradesh.
After forming the government in Punjab-Delhi, now the Aam Aadmi Party’s eyes are on MP. There is election in Madhya Pradesh at the end of this year. Announcing to contest the election, the party’s organization general secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak said, “Confirmation of contract workers will be a major issue of AAP in Madhya Pradesh, here also we will provide those facilities for free, which are being provided in Delhi and Punjab.” There is less time in the elections, but the public will contest the elections, the public will contest the elections and there is enough time for that.”
What is your strategy?
You must have understood from this statement that in Madhya Pradesh also Aam Aadmi Party is preparing to enter with the same strategy, due to which it reached the throne of power in Punjab and Delhi and on the basis of this it got entry in Gujarat Assembly. By the way, with the announcement of Aam Aadmi Party on all the seats in Madhya Pradesh, the tension of the Congress has increased. In the Congress camp, which gave a strong fight in the 2018 assembly elections, there is apprehension that the Aam Aadmi Party may spoil the game like in Gujarat.
Congress was shocked in Gujarat
In the assembly elections held in Gujarat last year, the Aam Aadmi Party contested all the seats. After the election results, BJP emerged as the single largest party with 156 seats. Compared to 2017, BJP had gained 33 seats. The Aam Aadmi won 5 seats but the vote share he got surprised everyone, especially the Congress. AAP got 12.9 percent votes. Apart from this, there were 35 seats where the Aam Aadmi Party was the runner up.
The biggest setback was faced by the Congress in the Gujarat elections. The party won only 16 seats. Earlier in 2017, Congress had got 77 seats. On the results, Congress spokesperson Pawan Kheda had said that AAP has taken the place of Congress. The figures also testify to this statement of Kheda. In 2017, the Congress got close to 43 per cent votes, which has come down to 27 per cent in 2022. Congress vote share declined by 16 percent. It is worth noting that AAP got around 13 percent votes. Political analysts believe that Congress votes were transferred to AAP.
Same situation should not happen in Madhya Pradesh
Now the Aam Aadmi Party has increased the tension of the Congress by announcing that it will contest elections on all the seats in Madhya Pradesh. If the Aam Aadmi Party succeeds in making a dent in the votes in Madhya Pradesh like in Gujarat, then the road may be difficult for the Congress. This is not only for the assembly elections, but it can also give a jolt to the Congress in the next year’s Lok Sabha elections. You have already announced to contest elections in Rajasthan also.
Do you want to end Congress?
After these announcements of yours, a question is also arising whether the Aam Aadmi Party is trying to finish the Congress and take its place. Congress leaders accuse you of favoring BJP. However, opposite allegations are made by the BJP as well, but looking at the performance of the common man so far, Congress has suffered more than its emergence. Be it Delhi or Punjab, in both the states the Aam Aadmi Party has reached the top of power only by removing the Congress. Along with this, be it Goa, Uttarakhand, Himachal or Gujarat, Congress is the main opposition party in the states where AAP won.
Congress was defeated even after winning in 2018
In the 2018 assembly elections, the Congress had won 114 seats, while the BJP had won 109 seats. By becoming the single largest party, the Congress formed the government under the leadership of Kamal Nath, but within two years, the party had to face a major rebellion under the leadership of Jyotiraditya Scindia. Scindia joined BJP in March 2020. After this, resignations of a large number of MLAs started from the Congress.
The Kamal Nath government was reduced to a minority and once again the BJP returned under the leadership of Shivraj Singh. In November 2020, by-elections were held on 28 seats in the state. In this, 25 seats were vacant due to the resignation of Congress MLAs. In the by-elections, BJP won 19 seats while Congress won 9 seats and the party again reached number two.
