In a huge turnaround from 2018, the BJP pulled off a victory ousting the ruling Congress government led by Bhupesh Baghel. The BJP had crossed the halfway mark by winning 54 seats, according to the last update on the Election Commission's website. The two tribal dominated divisions of Surguja and Bastar, having 26 Assembly seats that contributed hugely to the Congress' landslide victory in Chhattisgarh in 2018, have swung to the Bharatiya Janata Party this time. The results were in contrast to most of the Exit polls which had predicted another term for the Congress. According to India Today-Axis My India’s early predictions, the Congress was to get 40-50 seats in Chhattisgarh, while the BJP was predicted to bag 36-46 seats, pointing to the return of the CM Bhupesh Baghel-led government. While the main fight was between bitter rivals BJP and the Congress, a three-way contest was on the cards in several seats of the Bilaspur division where former CM Ajit Jogi’s party and the BSP have pockets of influence. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP was also focusing on seats in the division.
