New Delhi: The BJP desires to win elections in all states, including Madhya Pradesh, on the basis of performance and people’s trust his government has earned in the last nine years held. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is learnt to have emphasised this at the brainstorming session on electoral strategies and selection of candidatures for poll-bound Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on Wednesday.

Modi advocated for the selection of candidates after considering personal and political records, the level of people’s connections and perceptions, earlier performances and non-controversial background at the session attended by CEC members, BJP national president JP Nadda, home minister and party’s principal strategist Amit Shah, defence minister Rajnath Singh and others.

“The PM pitched for a corruption-less era of politics without promoting nepotism and appeasement. He has always been stressing the need to restore people-centric strategies following the mantra of ‘sab ka saath, sab ka vikas, through sab ka prayas,” said a source, as per The New Indian Express (TNIE).

Since the outcome of polls in five states , ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls would have a bearing on the results of next year’s general election, the BJP think-tank wants to make a foolproof poll strategy. The five states scheduled to go to polls are MP, Rajasthan Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram.

The BJP has placed entire assembly seats in all poll-bound states under A, B, C and D categories, depending on the winnability position of party candidates due to various on-the-ground issues.

The seats placed under A means an optimum chance to win, while category B means those seats the party had lost once or twice. C denotes seats where two or more losses were recorded. D is where the party never won. “This time, we are planning to win all such seats in all states,” he added.
