Jaipur News Desk: If we analyze the results of the assembly by-elections in Rajasthan, the main reason behind the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party is considered to be to keep casteism away from the election strategy. This is the reason why the party created a new history by winning seats like Khinvsar and Jhunjhunu, which till now had decided victory and defeat on the basis of caste equations. The strategy to win the by-elections had started being made at the top level at that time itself. When BJP was busy deciding the election strategy of Haryana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been working for a long time to free elections from caste barriers. For this, on the instructions of the PM, the party campaigned on all seven seats of the state focusing on youth, farmers and women and the results came in favor of BJP.
Some strong sides of the victory story
-The double engine gave confidence to the government that the pending major works in the interest of the state will be completed.
-Preference was given to only those who could win in ticket selection and the rebellion was stopped in time.
-Put full effort even where there was no hope of winning.
-Fought the elections unitedly, the message did not go anywhere that the party is not united.
-The elections were brought on the issue of development instead of caste politics.
-Did not allow disappointment among the workers.
Promise of electricity and employment showed effect
BJP government was formed in the state and after this the maximum focus was on the major problems of the state. In this, there were issues like electricity to farmers during the day, water on time, employment to the youth. If sources are to be believed, under the instructions received from PM Narendra Modi, the Bhajan Lal government started many works in the energy sector by promising to provide electricity to the farmers during the day. CM Bhajanlal Sharma would definitely say in his election meetings that he would provide electricity to the farmers during the day within two to three years, so that they would not have to worry at night. Also promised to provide employment to the youth.
As soon as the BJP government came to power, it took steps towards solving the water problem in the Shekhawati region of the state and started work on the Yamuna Water Agreement. Although it did not get its benefit in the Lok Sabha elections, but with the formation of BJP government in Haryana, the party was successful in assuring the farmers of Shekhawati and Marwar that now they can expect to get the full water of Yamuna as per Rajasthan’s right.
Active only three months ago, did not give up till the end
On one hand, Congress delayed the by-elections in every respect, while BJP, taking lessons from the setback in the Lok Sabha elections, had started working on the strategy to win the by-elections three months in advance. The party had asked ministers and organization officials to stay in the by-election areas only. The effect of this was that the party succeeded in removing the resentment that was coming to the fore from time to time even before the voting. There was a rebellion in Jhunjhunu, which was also brought under control in time. The caste pressure was so dominant in Khinvsar seat that other castes supporting BJP did not come out to vote. These voters also came out openly in favor of BJP this time. The party leaders had little hope of winning in Salumber, but the party leaders contested the by-elections on every seat like the general elections.
