Ek Yojana, Ek Khiladi: Here's what sealed BJP's election victory in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh

BJP appears to have benefited greatly from two initiatives, 'Lli Behena' and 'Mahtari Vandan', in Mhya Presh and Chhattisgarh elections. Even though BJP has decisively won Mhya Presh and is challenging Congress in Chhattisgarh, impact of se two schemes has evidently h an effect on electorate. However, what makes this interesting is that y seem to be connected to Assam. Based on comparisons, Arunodoi scheme, which has gained immense popularity in norastern state of Assam, is exactly similar to ‘Lli Behna’ and ‘Mahtari Vandan’ schemes. 

Himanta Biswa Sarma: Trump Card

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma actually visited Mhya Presh three times prior to introduction of ‘Lli Behna’ scheme, where he met with his counterpart Shivraj Singh Chauhan. In dition, prior to finalization of Mhya Presh state budget, representatives from Assam and Mhya Presh governments held two separate video conferences and two presentations, respectively. ‘Arunodoi scheme’ of Assamese government, like two or schemes in Mhya Presh and Chhattisgarh, offers financial support to women.

Arunodoi scheme: A Masterpiece 

Women are considered beneficiaries of Assam government's ‘Arunodoi scheme’ and receive an initial payment of Rs 1250. Furrmore, ir medical expenses are covered, and y receive or benefits. Furrmore, Arunodoi scheme's launch date of October 2, 2020, suggests that it is a tried-and-true program that has produced results for Assam government led by BJP. 

Lli Behna & Mahtari Vandan Yojana

Lli Behna Yojana of Mhya Presh was introduced on January 28 of this year by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan. An eligible woman will receive Rs. 1250 through this scheme, deposited into her Ahaar-linked DBT-enabled bank account during her eligibility period. When it comes to Chhattisgarh, BJP's Mahtari Vandan Yojana, which y presented as a poll plank, assures that every married woman who meets requirements will receive Rs 1000. 

Support of ‘Women Power’ 

BJP's apparent le in Mhya Presh's current counting trends, as well as its close battle with Congress in Chhattisgarh, suggest that female voters have clearly shifted, favoring saffron party in se two states. Arunodoi scheme is also thought to have h a significant impact on voting habits of Assamese women, which helped BJP win a landslide victory in state in 2022 state elections and ultimately place Himanta Biswa Sarma in office as chief minister. 

Game changer & BJP's Massive Victory

It's also important to note that Chief Minister Sarma has been a prominent BJP campaigner in elections for Mhya Presh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana. fact that he has attended 79 rallies in le-up to elections indicates how actively involved he has been in BJP's campaigns in four states. Yogi ityanath, chief minister of Uttar Presh, attended about twenty rallies throughout four states, but Sarma's enormous number of rallies indicates that he has been one of BJP's most sought-after campaigners in se elections. 

Himanta Biswa Sarma will undoubtedly play a larger role within saffron party in future, as seen by Assam chief minister's significant campaign involvement and BJP's enormous benefits from Arunodoi scheme copycatted from Assam government.
