In the unfolding Assembly poll results, after three hours of counting, the BJP establishes a significant lead in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Meanwhile, the Congress takes a strong position in Telangana, while Chhattisgarh witnesses a neck-and-neck battle between the two major parties.
Contrary to expectations of a close contest, the BJP gains a clear advantage in Madhya Pradesh, surpassing the Congress in early trends.
Results in Rajasthan align with exit polls, indicating a BJP victory. The party comfortably leads over the incumbent Congress, following the state’s trend of not reelecting a party.
Congress Dominance in Telangana
The Congress leads in Telangana, challenging the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, which has governed the state since its formation in 2014.
Initially favoring the Congress, Chhattisgarh becomes a closely contested battleground, with the BJP rapidly narrowing the gap.
Notable figures, including Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao in Kamareddy and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in Patan, face unexpected challenges, adding intrigue to the unfolding narrative.
The Congress, banking on former Chief Minister Kamal Nath with high expectations, faces disappointment in Madhya Pradesh despite early confidence and pre-counting victory posters.
Infighting between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and former deputy Sachin Pilot impacts the Congress’s performance in Rajasthan, overshadowing attempts to present a united front.
The Congress benefits from projecting local leaders, evident in Telangana’s results. The party’s strategic support for state chief Revanth Reddy proves successful, drawing parallels with its Karnataka victory.
These Assembly polls are seen as a precursor or “semi-final” to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, providing insights into the political landscape months ahead of the larger electoral battle.
