Lok Sabha Election Results 2024 Chhattisgarh: Kawasi Lakma failed to save Bastar constituency, BJP won 10 out of 11 seats.

Lok Sabha Election Results 2024 Chhattisgarh: Looking at the results of the Chhattisgarh elections, it shows the appearance of a massive defeat for the Congress in the assembly elections. BJP candidates have won 10 of the total 11 seats in the state. Congress has succeeded in saving the Gorba Lok Sabha seat. In the tribal-dominated state, the BJP won all five reserved Lok Sabha seats in the state, wresting Bastar from the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections. Out of total 11 Lok Sabha constituencies in Chhattisgarh, Bastar, Khangher, Raigarh and Sarguja are reserved for Scheduled Tribe (ST) category and Janjgir-Samba for Scheduled Caste (SC) category. Among the reserved constituencies, Bastar Lok Sabha constituency has seen a major upheaval. From here, BJP candidate Mahesh Kashyap defeated Congress' influential tribal leader and sitting MLA Kawasi Lakma. Lakma lost to the BJP candidate by a margin of 55,245 votes. Bastar was one of the two constituencies won by the Congress in 2019. This time the Congress fielded Lakma and this time it did not give a ticket to the sitting MP and state president of the party, Deepak Baij. The party had expressed confidence in Lakma, who was a minister in the previous Congress government in Chhattisgarh, but Lakma could not live up to the Congress's expectations. Look at reserved seats: Former MLA Chintamani Maharaj, who joined the BJP from the Congress before last year's assembly elections, has won the Surguja constituency by a margin of 64,822 votes against Congress' Shashi Singh. In Raigarh, BJP candidate Radishyam Radiya has won by a margin of 2,40,391 votes from Congress candidate Dr. Maneka Devi Singh. Bhojraj Nag of BJP won the Kangar (ST) seat against Congress candidate Presh Thakur. He won by a margin of 1,884 votes. In Chhattisgarh's only SC-reserved Janjgir-Samba constituency, BJP's woman leader Kamlesh Jangate has defeated Congress candidate and state minister Shivkumar Dahria by a margin of 60,000 votes. In 2004, 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 10 out of 11 seats in Chhattisgarh, which the BJP wrested from Kamal Nath in a single glance. In the last Lok Sabha elections, i.e. 2019 elections, the Congress won two out of 11 seats, one of which was Bastar, an ST reserved seat.
