Rich awards were also received by congress leaders who defected to the BJP. Jitin prasad is a minister in the bjp government in Uttar Pradesh, whereas Scindia, who was successful in toppling the congress government in madhya pradesh, was appointed as a Union Minister. Recently, RPN Singh of Uttar Pradesh was nominated to the Rajya Sabha. In recent years, Babulal Marandi of the shiv sena and Narayan Rane, two more former chief ministers, have also joined the BJP. As the state unit chairman, Rane, a Union minister, and Marandi, the first jharkhand chief minister appointed by a bjp leader, have been designated as the party's public face.
The chief ministers of northeastern states, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Biren Singh, and Manik Saha, have contrasting narratives in Assam, Manipur, and Tripura. tarun Gogoi was kept on as chief minister by the congress, which broke its pledge to choose Sarma. Sarma did, however, succeed in winning the state of maharashtra after switching allegiances and biding his time until the BJP's reelection in 2021.
Biren Singh also broke with the Congress. In 2017, he assisted the bjp in gaining a majority. He was promoted to CM. He is still the chief minister even though there is a lot of pressure to remove him following ongoing unrest in Manipur.
Due to the CPI-M's extended stay under the Manik government in Tripura, Manik Saha was unable to assume the position of chief minister. But after he joined the bjp in 2023 and succeeded Biplab Kumar Deb, things took a turn for the worst.
It might be said that Himanta Biswa Sarma and Scindia have profited the most from the lengthy list of congress officials who joined the BJP. In addition to overseeing the ministries of steel and aviation, Scindia also handled tickets for a number of supporters in the madhya pradesh assembly elections of 2023.
