In the unfolding results of the 2023 Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is securing a comfortable lead in the Hindi heartland, with victories in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and an anticipated win in Chhattisgarh. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed that the people of the country trust only “Modi ki guarantee” as the Congress faces a setback in these crucial states.
Chief Minister Dhami conveyed this sentiment in a Hindi post on X, stating, “In India, people trust only one guarantee and that is ‘Modi’s Guarantee.'”

As the vote counting continues, the BJP is on track for a clean sweep in Madhya Pradesh, with incumbent Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan leading the party to its fourth consecutive victory. In Rajasthan, the BJP has crossed the halfway mark, leading in 111 seats, while in Chhattisgarh, the BJP is forging ahead in 54 of the 90 assembly seats, putting the Congress on the defensive.
The Congress, which had high hopes for a return to power in Madhya Pradesh, appears to be losing ground in the Hindi heartland. The party’s presence in these states has dwindled, with the BJP securing a significant electoral advantage.
The BJP’s success in Chhattisgarh, where the party is poised to outperform the Congress, is a notable development. As per the latest figures from the Election Commission, the BJP is leading in 160 out of 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, while the Congress is ahead in 67 seats. In Rajasthan, the BJP has surpassed the halfway mark with candidates leading in 111 seats, leaving the Congress trailing behind with 72 seats.
The outcome of these elections signifies a substantial setback for the Congress in the Hindi heartland, raising concerns about the party’s electoral strategies and positioning in the region. In contrast, the BJP’s performance underlines the influence of “Modi’s Guarantee” as a key factor driving electoral success.
