After losing in 2018, Raman Singh gives PM Modi credit for the BJP's victory in Chhattisgarh

However, it seems that the Congress in power has lost its hold on power after just five years in office.

Raman Singh, the former chief minister of Chhattisgarh, gave Prime Minister Narendra Modi credit on Sunday as the BJP seemed poised to seize back control of the state that had removed him from office in December 2018.

Singh, the second chief minister of Chhattisgarh and a 15-year veteran of three consecutive terms in office, said that his successor, current chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, had broken pledges to the populace.

The senior lawmaker, who could now become Chhattisgarh's next chief minister, said, "They believe in PM Modi's assurances because they know that Bhupesh Baghel did not fulfill his promises."

In terms of victory in the 90-member legislature, the saffron party is well ahead of its bitter foe, the incumbent Congress, according to the most recent data released by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Even while more definitive patterns will take time to emerge, the grand old party was predicted to dominate in Chhattisgarh and perform well in the most recent assembly elections, according to the majority of exit polls. Compared to 2018, when it had won with 68 seats, it was a considerable decrease.

But exit polls have a track record of being inaccurate.

Congress has not responded either, and neither the Chief Minister nor his Deputy Chief Minister, TS Singh Deo, have released a comment as of yet.

In the meanwhile, 76.31% of voters in the state cast ballots in the most recent elections, which were conducted on November 7 and 17.
