The Assembly elections in Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand are scheduled for October-November this year. For this, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s election strategy is set to undergo significant changes.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is actively involved in shaping the issues and will play a role in ticket distribution. It has been broadly decided that the current Chief Ministers will be the faces of the BJP’s campaigns in Haryana and Maharashtra, while in Jharkhand, the party will seek votes in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will lead the campaign efforts in all three states, with Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan taking on additional responsibilities in Haryana. The BJP plans to adopt an election strategy in Haryana and Maharashtra similar to that used in Madhya Pradesh in last year’s Assembly elections.

In Maharashtra, the Eknath Shinde government has already released its budget, making several announcements aimed at attracting the youth and women voters, including schemes like Madhya Pradesh’s Ladli Behna scheme under different names.
