Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai had repeatedly urged voters to support a “triple-engine government” at the national, state, and local levels to ensure uninterrupted development in Chhattisgarh.“The BJP retains the trust of the people. It’s a historic people’s mandate in our favour,” Sai said. “Our government will fulfil all promises of our manifesto Atal Vishwas Patra (released ahead of the elections), just as we are delivering on the pledges made under Modi ki Guarantee.”Pankaj Jha, media advisor to the Chief Minister, echoed this sentiment: “The voters have endorsed the leadership of the Sai government, its welfare initiatives, and policies.”The BJP maintained a strong lead in all 10 municipal corporations from the moment vote counting began at 9 AM, while also securing major wins in most municipalities and nagar panchayats.Congress state president Deepak Baij acknowledged the party’s poor performance, saying, “The poll results were not as per our expectations. The party will introspect the results, and we accept the people’s decision.”
