In a dramatic turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has surged ahead in the Chhattisgarh election results, overcoming an initial setback. Initially trailing in over 25 seats, the BJP has now seized the lead in 53 out of the 90-seat Assembly, leaving the Congress behind with 35 seats. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and former CM Raman Singh are key contenders in this electoral battleground. The state, which witnessed a two-phase assembly poll, recorded a voter turnout of 78% and 75.88% in November. The counting reveals a stunning BJP comeback, setting the stage for a potential upset for Bhupesh Baghel led Congress.
