How BJP is turning anti-incumbency into pro-incumbency, where did Congress go wrong?

New Delhi: Anti-incumbency was seen as a rule in Indian elections till a few years ago, but after the arrival of Modi government at the Centre, there has been a change in it. The anti-incumbency wave seems to be going in favor of the government. In the elections after 2014, the echo of a word which was earlier heard only in cricket is being heard more. Hat-trick… No one thought about it at the Centre, but in the states where it was heard, a different example was given. But in recent years, BJP has done this in many states. When Haryana’s results came on Tuesday, it surprised everyone. No one was expecting such a victory in Haryana but BJP is going to create history by scoring a hat-trick here. At the same time, anti-incumbency has been changed to pro-incumbency.What is the meaning of Haryana’s results?
It is important to talk about the results of Haryana today, but before that it is also important to note that in many countries of the world, leaders and parties have had to face anti-incumbency wave, whereas in India, this has not been seen with BJP. It is falling. When Lok Sabha elections started in April this year, questions arose whether Modi would score a hat-trick. Same thing happened after the results, even though BJP’s seats reduced but Modi got a hat-trick.

BJP more successful in saving power
After today’s results in Haryana, BJP has proved that after 2014, it has been more successful in saving its power in the states than Congress. BJP is going to score a hat-trick of victories in Haryana. Despite being in power for ten years, BJP is returning to power once again. At the end of last year, when BJP returned to power in Madhya Pradesh, the same thing was seen in Assam and UP. he/she has also returned with Nitish Kumar in Bihar. Amidst all this, Gujarat cannot be forgotten, where the party has been in power since 1995.

PM Modi has also mentioned this
Some states like Karnataka and Himachal have definitely slipped from its hands but despite this BJP is converting anti-incumbency into pro-incumbency. At the same time, Congress is losing its states after just five years in power. This was seen in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Not only this, Congress has not been successful in saving the government in even a single state in the last 14 years. BJP’s record in this matter has been more than 50 percent. PM Modi has also mentioned this. Before the Lok Sabha elections 2014, Modi had spoken in detail on pro-incumbency in the parliamentary party meeting. he/she had told with figures that the record of BJP government being repeated in the states is 58 percent while Congress government is repeated only 18 percent.

Congress government could not repeat after 2014
BJP has done this in many states. Be it politics or sports, whoever wins wins. It is not that questions are not raised on leadership after defeat. Recently, after the reduction in seats in the Lok Sabha and the defeat in the by-elections, questions started being raised that the magic of Modi has started waning, but with the results of Haryana today, it will be said once again that there is no anti-incumbency wave against Modi. Not there. Neither in the Center nor in the states. On one hand, BJP is doing this, while on the other hand, Congress has not been successful in doing this in any election since 2014.
Why is Congress lagging behind BJP?
She was in power in Punjab but had to lose power there. In Chhattisgarh it was believed that Congress would return to power here. But Bhupesh Baghel loses the election. Even in Rajasthan, Congress could not do this. This time in Haryana all the exit polls were showing victory of Congress but it did not happen. Political experts believe that the Congress party is hesitant in taking big steps in the elections. At the same time, BJP does not delay in changing its CM face. At the same time, Congress comes under pressure from the strong leader of the state.
