The 44 Assembly constituencies that have been polled 80 per cent or more in the election held on Wednesday, are posing a threat to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the State.
Political observers consider that the higher polling per cent in these constituencies indicate anti-establishment over electorates. However, these constituencies include 13 such seats which were polled 80 or more in the last Assembly elections held in 2013.
Even if these 13 seats are not including in the bag of Congress, it is being considered that Congress party might get 31 seats out of them, if higher polling per cent is considered against anti-establishment. Of them, there are a couple of seats where independents might be victorious.
However, sources claimed that there are few seats in them belong to Rajgarh belt that is RSS dominated; this might indicate that the polling held in favour of the BJP under the influence of RSS efforts towards mobilization of voters.
BJP Vice president Vijesh Lunawat told The Pioneer that the past experience suggests that the increase in polling percent increases BJP's tally in the elections. "For the anti-establishment polling, an atmosphere is required, but it was missing across the State," he said, claiming that his party would certainly form the government with over 140 seats.
On the other hand, the Congress too has claimed to form the government with around140 seats. PCC Chief Kamal Nath has claimed that Congress would get 140 seats, while former chief minister Digvijay Singh has claimed that his party would get 132 seats.
