Bhopal: After becoming a minister at the Center, Shivraj Singh Chauhan was given a big task by the central leadership for the first time.Shivraj Singh Chouhan has fully flopped in the very first mission.All his bets have failed in Jharkhand. He has not been able to do any special charisma. At the same time, BJP is also struggling to win in his home constituency Budhni. A year ago, Shivraj had won in Budhni by more than one lakh votes, but BJP is struggling to win there by 10-15 thousand votes.
failed in big mission
Shivraj Singh Chauhan had achieved a big victory in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections. However, the party did not repeat him on the post of CM. After this lok sabha elections were held. After the victory in the Lok Sabha elections, Shivraj Singh Chauhan became the Agriculture Minister at the Centre. Then the party handed over the work of organization to him. Shivraj Singh Chauhan was made in-charge of Jharkhand. He was working with Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. The pair could not do wonders there.
flop in jharkhand
The results of Jharkhand elections have become clear. Shivraj’s social engineering formula could not do wonders there. BJP was limited to plus 25 only. In such a situation, this is a big blow for Shivraj who shifted from MP politics to the Centre. He had created an image for the party by leading it to a landslide victory in MP a year ago. There is a big dent on it. in such a situation, his political innings within BJP will not be easy.
His opponents got a chance in MP
It is indeed noteworthy that there are many people who do not like Shivraj Singh Chauhan in the politics of Madhya Pradesh. After being made Jharkhand election in-charge, the state’s prominent leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had compared him with himself.Kailash Vijayvargiya said that when Shivraj was in charge of haryana, BJP had won four seats there. When we were formed, the government was formed. Now if Shivraj is not able to do wonders even in Jharkhand, then the opponents have got a big chance.
The journey will not be easy
Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s troubles will increase after the defeat of Jharkhand. With the defeat of Jharkhand, BJP is struggling for victory in their stronghold also. This also gives the message that without Shivraj in Budhni,the path of BJP is not easy. Besides, it is also clear that uncle’s magic does not work in other states. Shivraj Singh Chauhan was being said to be a contender for big posts in the party,but after this defeat,things are not easy now.

Interview: The Political Landscape of shivraj Singh Chauhan and the BJP
Editor, Time.news: Welcome, and thank you for joining us today to discuss recent events surrounding Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s challenges in his new role as Agriculture Minister and his failure in the Jharkhand elections. We have with us dr. Neelam Verma, a political analyst specializing in Indian politics. Dr. Verma, let’s dive right into it.
Q1: Dr. Verma,what are the primary factors contributing to Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s struggles in Jharkhand?
Dr. Verma: Thank you for having me. Several key factors have contributed to his difficulties in Jharkhand. First,Chauhan’s shift from Madhya Pradesh politics to a state with a distinct political landscape proved challenging. his social engineering formula, which had success in Madhya Pradesh, failed to resonate in Jharkhand. The BJP faced significant limitations, securing onyl around 25 seats, reflecting a disconnect with local issues and voter sentiment.
Q2: How does this failure impact the BJP’s standing, especially in Madhya Pradesh?
Dr. Verma: This situation casts a long shadow over the BJP’s strategies moving forward. The loss in Jharkhand may embolden opponents within Madhya Pradesh, where figures like Kailash Vijayvargiya are already positioning themselves against Chauhan. Tho he won Budhni by a considerable margin last year, the party’s tight race there now suggests vulnerability.If the BJP cannot secure victories in its traditional strongholds, it jeopardizes its broader political strategy in the upcoming elections.
Q3: What does this mean for Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s future in the party?
Dr. Verma: The recent outcomes could complicate Chauhan’s political trajectory within the BJP. Despite his previous successes, this defeat underlines the challenges he faces in transitioning from state to central leadership. his aspirations for higher roles might be hindered, given the need for leaders who can unify the party and secure wins across states. His opponents could leverage this moment to strengthen their positions.
Q4: What lessons can political leaders learn from Chowhan’s experience?
Dr. Verma: This highlights the critical importance of local context in indian politics. Political leaders must adapt their strategies to reflect regional nuances rather than relying solely on past successes or formulas. the ability to engage with local issues, connect with voters, and develop responsive policy solutions is vital, especially in diverse states like Jharkhand.
Q5: Given these challenges, what advice would you provide to the BJP moving forward?
Dr. Verma: The party must focus on grassroots engagement and understanding the specific needs of different regions.Emphasizing coalition-building within the party and addressing local grievances can enhance voter trust.Additionally, fostering new leadership and fresh ideas may reinvigorate their strategies and bolster their chances of winning in upcoming elections.
