Congress has been dominant in tribal-dominated Chhota Udepur district
The Jetpur seat in Chhota Udaipur district, a tribal-dominated seat, has traditionally been considered a Congress bastion. Talking about the results of the seats in the district in the 2017 elections, BJP won Sankheda and Congress won Chhota Udaipur and Jetpur. However, in the 2022 assembly elections, the real issues of tribals in these ST seats have been secondary. Till now Congress ruled this entire tribal belt here because of Mohanbhai and Narayanbhai. The breakup of this pair had an impact on the traditional tribal seats of the Congress and the BJP won here.
