Chhattisgarh is currently being serviced by BJP party who had won the majority number of seats in 2013 elections. The state has four major parties namely BJP, Congress, CPI, and BSP and in this term elections. Congress and BSP are hoped to form an alliance but it has been announced recently that BSP and CPI are forming an alliance. After this announcement, Congress is said to be in seat-sharing talks with CPI, CPM, NCP, and Gondwana parties for upcoming Chhattisgarh elections 2018.
The recent opinion polls conducted by various news and media agencies showed a mixed response from the voters. Some polls put BJP ahead in the upcoming elections and some put Congress. Given the vote share received by the two parties in the previous elections, the elections will be highly unpredictable. While the formation of an alliance between Congress, BSP and left parties might affect the result of the elections, BJP stands just as strong in the state.
