State elections in India 2022: Their results
Introduction
State elections in India are set to take place in 2022. This will be the first time these elections will be held under the new rules and regulations the India Election Commission set. The Commission has said that the elections will be free and fair and that all eligible voters will be able to participate.
The results of the state elections will have a significant impact on the 2022 general elections. The states that are set to hold elections are Gujrat, Goa, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. These states are considered key battleground states in the upcoming general elections.
Political analysts and commentators will closely watch the results of the state elections. The results will also be a significant factor in determining the fate of the ruling party in the 2022 general elections.
State elections are familiar to India. If you look at the political timeline, you see that these elections have a long history. These elections greatly impact Indian politics because of their significance for state governments, and their results affect national moods in India. Elections are held in each state separately, and there is no such thing as “elections of all states.” In principle, there are no “elections of all states.” The current government and head of government in each state are selected by voting for the party or coalition that wins a majority of votes in that state. States play an essential role in governing India’s political life because their laws and institutions are responsible for many aspects and aspects of Indian life, including law enforcement and social welfare systems such as health care education, roads, etc.
1)Uttar Pradesh
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to fight the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election. The party will be trying to win more than 74 seats in the upcoming polls, and its victory there will boost BJP’s morale.
In Uttar Pradesh, BJP won again in 2017 after the SP-BSP alliance performed well in the Uttar Pradesh by-polls in 2018.
The BJP returned to power in Uttar Pradesh after winning a huge majority in the 2017 elections.
Congress allied with Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal to fight the alliance against the BJP. BSP is likely to contest on the SP-RLD alliance’s symbol, which means that Mayawati will contest from a seat in Uttar Pradesh.
The other seats where she could be fielded include Amethi, Rae Bareli, and Sultanpur (where her husband Akhilesh Yadav was CM). Her son Prateek Mishra has been given charge of the Lucknow East constituency where he lives.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power since 2014 and won 73 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats from Uttar Pradesh that year. However, its popularity has declined since then, and it faces a tough challenge from regional parties such as Samajwadi Party (SP) and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD).
The results will also be watched closely by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government at the national level as well because many see him as having failed to deliver on key promises made during his campaign, like job creation through the Digital India program or improving women’s safety measures across India’s villages.
The BSP has 10 MPs in Lok Sabha, while the SP has 5.
The Congress, which has two MPs in the Lok Sabha, won just two seats in Uttar Pradesh.
The BJP has 73 MPs and is led by PM Narendra Modi.
In a tie-up with BSP, the SP has 10 MPs while its alliance partner RJD has one MP each.
AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) has 2 MLAs acting as independents and supporting AAP leaders, Arvind Kejriwal and Yogendra Yadav.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is likely to face former MP Ramakant Yadav from Jaunpur and Akshay Pratap Singh from Phulpur.
The SP has nominated Akhilesh as its candidate for CM, but there are reports that his father, Mulayam Singh, might not be happy with him becoming the party’s face for the 2022 elections.
BJP has set a target of winning more than 74 seats for the 2022 assembly polls, as it won 71 of 80 parliamentary seats in the 2019 elections under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership.
According to reports, BJP’s target for the upcoming assembly polls is 74 seats, and it has started preparing for it by expanding its base beyond Dalits and Muslims.
The 2022 assembly polls will be held just one year ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, and victory there will greatly boost BJP’s morale.
The BJP has targeted winning more than 74 seats for the 2022 assembly polls. It won 71 parliamentary seats in the 2019 elections under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership. The party hopes to retain these seats and increase its tally even further.
The party has also decided that if it doesn’t win a majority, then it will ally with other parties or independents to form governments at all levels across Uttar Pradesh, which is India’s most populous state with over 200 million people living there – making it bigger than Brazil or Japan by population alone!
If this happens, we’ll have one big federal system where only Hindus can hold public office (and nobody else). Yogi Aadityanath is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
2)Punjab
The upcoming Lok Sabha elections in India are a big deal. They will decide who forms the government for the next five years, and if you’re a voter in Punjab state, it’s even more important than elsewhere in the country. So here’s everything you need to know about the Punjab elections 2022:
The Punjabi elections are scheduled for 2022, and Congress must still be ready for polls. AAP, Akali Dal, and BJP will be neck and neck in Punjab. How will the BJP do this time? How will the exit of Navjot Sidhu impact Congress? And what about other political parties like Samajwadi Party, BSP, etc.?
Congress not ready for polls
Congress still needs to be ready for polls. The party needs to prepare to face the people and has no answer as to why they are not prepared. They have repeatedly told us they want to form a government, and we believe them because they’ve always been honest in their words and deeds. But now there’s something else behind the scenes: Akali Dal’s opposition to any alliance between AAP and Congress! So what does this mean? If you’re a Punjab voter and want change, vote for AAP or BJP!
How the exit of Navjot Sidhu will impact Congress
While Navjot Sidhu is not a political threat to Congress, his exit will impact its vote bank. The party has been in power since 1977, and this election is crucial to retain that status.
The Congress recently lost one high-profile leader, with actor Pammi Bhasin quitting the party just before the Lok Sabha elections 2019 after being denied a ticket from the Patiala constituency.
In short, the exit of Navjot Sidhu will impact both Congress and BJP.
The numbers do not lie. The exit of a popular leader from the Congress party has already cost them dearly in Punjab and other states where they have been contesting elections for a long time. Some reports suggest that if this trend continues, it could even lead to a split within their ranks if they don’t come up with an effective strategy to counter such exits with future leaders at par with them (i.e., someone who is willing or able enough).
The BJP, a big winner in the Lok Sabha elections in Punjab, is expecting a repeat performance this time. The party has wooed the Akali Dal and Congress to ally against it. It will get an opportunity to win all five seats in the state. Amrit Mann is the chief minister of Punjab.
3)Goa
The BJP is all set to contest the Goa state assembly election in May 2022 in alliance with Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and GSM. The party’s Goa Chief, Sadanand Tanavade, announced this on Friday.
ON FRIDAY, Goa BJP chief Sadanand Tanavade said the party would contest the 2022 state Assembly polls in alliance with Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and GSM. According to the chief minister, BJP will contest the 2022 state Assembly polls in alliance with Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and GSM. Talking about his party’s plans for Goa, Sadanand Tanavade said they have decided to allot three seats each to GSM and MGP. The BJP and the MGP will contest in the elections, and both parties have agreed to allot three seats each to the Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM), Tanavade said. The GSM, demanding an independent coastal state for Goa for decades after being denied a seat in Parliament, has been working hard on its coalition with the MGP ahead of assembly polls due next year.
“The BJP-MGP alliance has decided to give three seats each to GSM founder Vijay Sardesai and his party colleagues (South Goa MP) Narendra Sawaikar,” he told PTI.
They said the seat-sharing arrangement between the BJP-MGP-GSM alliance is a complete package.
In a letter to EC, Mr. Sardesai had sought two seats for himself and one more for his wife Kiran Sardesai, who was elected as an independent candidate from South Goa Lok Sabha constituency in the 2009 elections when she was contesting against sitting Congress MP Filipe Nayak by 609 votes.
Asked about former chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar’s reported resentment over not being given the ticket from the Mandrem constituency, the present MLA from which is Sardesai, Tanavade, said there is no such issue.
As the buzz around Parsekar’s reported resentment over not being given the ticket from Mandrem constituency, the present MLA from which is Sardesai, Tanavade, said there is no such issue.
The BJP-MGP alliance has given three seats to GSM founder Vijay Sardesai and his party colleague (South Goa MP) Narendra Sawaikar.
All three parties are part of this alliance, including Parsekar’s Republican Party of India (RPI).
In the run-up to the elections, the BJP has been projecting its candidates for Goa’s 42 seats. It has also been marginalizing other parties by refusing to seat their MLAs in the House and breaking their alliances on specific issues. Meanwhile, it still needs to be made clear whether MGP will continue to have a presence in Goa after its defeat in the 2014 polls, where Sawaikar won from the South Goa constituency.
Goa holds its elections on 12th May 2022. And the new Chief Minister is Pramod Sawant from BJP.
4)Himachal Pradesh
Elections in Himachal Pradesh, a northern Indian state, will be held by January 2022 to elect its members of Parliament. Vidhan Sabha elections are on the same day as the general elections in India. The Vidhan Sabha elections are held in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The elections are on a single day, with all parliament and assembly members being elected that day.
Election Commission India announced the Vidhan Sabha election dates on 17th May 2019, and they will be held on 6th April 2022 (Saturday) at 11:59 pm IST. This makes them one of the earliest parliamentary constituencies to hold their polls after the general elections in 2019!
The last election was held on 4th November 2017 to elect 68 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly members.
Previous incumbent party: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
The BJP is the incumbent party and has been in power since 2012. They won the election with a majority of seats, winning 25 out of the total 68 seats.
This is not an official statement from them but rather just my opinion based on what I’ve seen from various news sources and social media posts across India over the past week or so!
The next election in Himachal Pradesh will be held on 19th May 2022. The incumbent party is the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has governed HP since 1998.
The voter turnout was 61% in the state assembly elections of 2017 and 2018, compared with 64% during the same period in 2014. Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is the chief minister of Himachal Pradesh.
5)Gujarat
The Gujarat election is scheduled to be held in April-May 2022. The BJP has been ruling the state since 1995, but it is now seen as vulnerable.
With a population of 6.03 crores, Gujarat has 26 Lok Sabha seats. The state saw a 68 percent voter turnout in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Gujarat has 26 Lok Sabha seats. The state saw a 68 percent voter turnout in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, with 3.2 crore votes being cast.
The BJP won 179 seats out of 182 seats contested by it, and Jain arrived at second position with 19 wins, followed by Congress, which won just 16 seats in Gujarat.
In 2014, the BJP won all 26 seats under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. This time, however, the Congress is eyeing to gain ground in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah’s home turf.
In the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections, the Congress won only two out of the 25 seats it had contested then. Still, it hopes its chances will improve after being in power for two consecutive terms (Amit Shah became Chief Minister in 2013). The party also hopes that by defeating sitting MLAs from their ranks, they can strengthen their position ahead of next year’s Lok Sabha polls
The Congress hopes to repeat its success from the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections when it gave the BJP a tough fight by winning 77 seats against 99 seats won by the ruling party.
The Congress has been leading in all opinion polls since May and has been making steady gains across other states. In 2019, it was predicted that Rahul Gandhi would become prime minister with his party’s alliance with other parties. However, after Congress President Rahul Gandhi lost his Lok Sabha seat from Amethi (Uttar Pradesh) in an upset defeat against BJP candidate Smriti Irani on 23rd May 2019, there were questions about whether he would remain as party president or be replaced by someone else altogether.
Date of poll: April-May 2022
Polling will be held in all 26 seats, and it will be held in a single phase. The elections will take place in April-May 2022
Total number of parliament seats: 26
The total number of parliament seats is 26. This is the same as in 2019; two more seats were added last year due to population growth.
The Congress hopes to repeat its success from the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections when it gave the BJP a tough fight by winning 77 seats against 99 seats won by the ruling party.
However, this time, it faces stiff competition from other parties like the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The NCP has been trying to woo voters through its aggressive campaign and efforts in various districts where they are hoping to win at least five out of 13 Lok Sabha seats, including the Saurashtra region. Bhupendra Patel is the chief minister of Gujarat.
Takeaway:
State elections in India for 2022 have been a huge success, with record turnout and state-of-the-art software.
The use of AI to assist with the counting process has made it easier for voters to see results as they come in. In addition, many states use blockchain technology to ensure that information is kept secure and tamperproof.
Conclusion:
The next round of state elections in India will be held in early 2022. These elections are important because they will be the first elections held after the country’s recent Constitution Amendment. They will also be the first state elections in which the new BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will seek a mandate from the people.
The BJP is currently in power in 14 states and seeks to increase its tally in the next round of elections. The main opposition parties – the Congress and the regional parties – seek to regain lost ground. The results of these elections will be keenly watched by political observers worldwide.
