Chhattisgarh: BJP, Congress begin early groundwork for 2028 Assembly polls

Raipur, Jun 11(UNI) The next Assembly election in Chhattisgarh is still more than two years away. Yet political activity in the state is already beginning to take on an unmistakably electoral character. From organisational restructuring to constituency-level outreach and booth management, both major parties have quietly begun laying the groundwork for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Congress have started strengthening their organisational networks and fine-tuning strategies for the 2028 contest. While the BJP is focusing on consolidating its position and recovering ground in constituencies it lost in the last election, the Congress is working to rebuild its organisation and position itself for a return to power.
For the BJP, particular attention is being paid to the 36 Assembly seats where the party was defeated in the 2023 elections. Senior party leaders believe that these constituencies could play a decisive role in shaping the outcome of the next electoral battle and have begun drawing up constituency-specific strategies well in advance.
