The BJP is setting its eyes on 45 seats in tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh in preparation for the upcoming elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Shahdol on June 27 is part of the party’s strategy to influence the tribal people through interactions and events. During his trip, Modi will have an interaction with the tribal people and address an event on sickle cell eradication. The BJP won only 16 out of the 45 seats in the 2018 election and is now focusing on these areas since the party was short of seven seats needed to form the government. The BJP is on a weak ground in tribal areas of Mahakaushal region, and it is expected that the PM’s trip to those areas will help the party.
Reports suggest that Gondwana Gantantra Party may form an alliance with the Congress, making it challenging for the BJP to get tribal votes. Thus, the party is trying to create an atmosphere in its favour after Modi’s trip to Shahdol. The BJP will have food with tribal families and have an interaction with the self-help group of tribal women in Parkiya village, aiming to influence the tribes.
The BJP’s focus on tribal areas is crucial since the party couldn’t win many seats in those areas in the past. The strategy of the party is to create a favourable environment by addressing the issues that affect the tribal areas’ people. The party aims to win over more voters, and Modi’s trip to these areas is a significant step in that direction. The BJP is looking for ways to improve its performance in tribal areas and win more seats in the upcoming elections.
