Earlier, former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh and BJP leader Raman Singh asserted that the people of the state have rebuffed the arrogance exhibited by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Expressing his surprise at the magnitude of this shift, Singh stated, "I was not aware of such a big undercurrent in the state." Confidently declaring that the BJP would form the government in all three states, he emphasised, "The people have rejected all his (Baghel's) plans and his entire government."

He highlighted the public's confidence in the promises made by the BJP leaders and their appreciation for the government's achievements over the past 9 and a half years.
