New Delhi: Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister of the country for the third time, but this time the results of the Lok Sabha elections have given a big blow to the BJP. In fact, in this election, BJP has suffered a huge loss of vote share and seats. BJP was in the electoral fray with the slogan 'Abki Baar 400 Paar'. But the public stopped BJP at 240 seats only. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP alone won 303 seats. This time BJP has suffered a huge loss of 63 seats. Although BJP has formed the government with the support of NDA allies, but BJP has started all efforts to regain its lost strength. This is the reason why BJP does not want to take any risk regarding the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir. BJP will especially focus on Maharashtra and Haryana, because Congress is coming alive again in Haryana and dealing with the Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra is no less than a big challenge. BJP has a lot at stake in Maharashtra-Haryana. Both the states have suffered a big setback in the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, BJP has handed over the command of elections in these two states to its two strong strategists. BJP has appointed Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav as the state election in-charge of Maharashtra and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as the state election in-charge of Haryana. BJP has not bet on these two stalwarts just like that. Let us know the reason behind this.
Bhupendra Yadav has the ability to run the organization
- Bhupendra Yadav is considered skilled in running the organization. Bhupendra Yadav has performed brilliantly in the UP-Bihar elections. Now he has been given a new responsibility in Maharashtra.
- Bhupendra Yadav has won by a huge margin from Rajasthan's hot seat Alwar in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Bhupendra Yadav is a resident of Haryana and contested from Alwar seat of Rajasthan.
- The party had sent Bhupendra Yadav to the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan in the year 2012 and after the completion of his term, he was again nominated to the Rajya Sabha in the year 2018.
- In the year 2014, the party appointed him as the National General Secretary of BJP. After which his stature gradually increased in the party and the party made him in-charge of Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh and in the year 2020, he took over the post of in-charge of Bihar Legislative Assembly elections and benefited the BJP. In the year 2021, Bhupendra Yadav was given the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change as well as Labor and Employment by the BJP's central government.
Dharmendra Pradhan has been a troubleshooter for the BJP
- BJP has appointed Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as in-charge for Haryana assembly elections. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has played an important role in BJP's victory in many states including Bihar.
- In Haryana, BJP has suffered a major setback in the Lok Sabha elections as compared to 2019. The party has won 5 out of 10 seats. In 2019, BJP had won 10 seats. In such a situation, the party faces many challenges in the assembly elections to be held at the end of this year. In such a situation, behind handing over the command of the elections to Dharmendra Pradhan, BJP is confident that BJP's position will remain strong in Haryana.
- Dharmendra has proven to be reliable since 2014, when he took over as Petroleum Minister in Modi's first term and then Education Minister in the second term. Dharmendra Pradhan has been a minister in many fields. Even veteran leaders like Rajnath Singh acknowledge his working style.
- Dharmendra Pradhan has always got an important place in PM Modi's cabinet. After being made the election in-charge of the biggest and politically important state like UP, Dharmendra Pradhan's stature in the party increased a lot. Dharmendra Pradhan has been the in-charge of many states and in this role, under his leadership, BJP has performed very well in many states including Bihar.
