The BJP won big in Madhya Pradesh’s elections, and top leaders credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charm for this success. They called it “Modi magic” that led to their victory. Even without some state-specific programs, they believed Modi’s influence was the key.
Patel and Vijayvargiya highlighted that Modi’s campaign was the driving force behind their triumph. They pointed out that even areas where schemes like Ladli Behna Yojana weren’t present still saw BJP wins, all thanks to Modi’s charisma.
During the campaign’s final phase, Modi held rallies in 15 districts, securing 55 out of 73 Assembly seats. Yet, some areas, like Barwani, Satna, and Jhabua districts, didn’t fully embrace the Modi wave, retaining Congress seats despite the PM’s efforts.
Chouhan conducted a comprehensive campaign with 164 rallies across the state. Despite Modi’s rallies in Gwalior-Chambal, the BJP still succeeded in these regions, partly due to Jyotiraditya Scindia joining their ranks.
Out of the 24 Congress seats the BJP snagged, they made significant gains in Betul, Chhatarpur, Morena, and Indore. Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar’s campaign faced opposition, but both Tomar and Modi’s influence played crucial roles in this region.
In short, while “Modi magic” was vital in the BJP’s win, factors like local leadership, political changes, and the Congress’s strategies also influenced the election results.
