Assembly Elections 2023
The Assembly elections results for four states—Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh—are set to be announced today, December 3. Mizoram’s results will follow on Monday, December 4.
These Assembly polls are considered a crucial precursor to the Lok Sabha elections 2024, with both the BJP and Congress strategically focusing on issues aligned with the upcoming general elections. Both parties have highlighted welfare schemes, potentially laying the groundwork for their Lok Sabha manifestos.
The BJP, aiming to regain momentum after winning in Gujarat and Tripura but facing setbacks in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh last year, sees these victories as crucial in the lead-up to the Lok Sabha polls.
Depending on the accuracy of the exit polls, the Congress may maintain its control in Chhattisgarh and potentially replace the ruling party in Telangana. While most polls favor the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, opinions differ on the outcomes in Rajasthan, with Mizoram possibly heading towards a hung Assembly.

Assembly Election Dynamics
Mizoram comprises 40 assembly segments.
During the elections, Chhattisgarh held voting in two phases, on November 7 and 17. Interestingly, Mizoram conducted its polls on the same day as Chhattisgarh’s first phase. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Telangana carried out their voting on November 17, 25, and 30, respectively.
The delay in Mizoram’s vote counting was a result of appeals made to the Election Commission of India (ECI). The argument presented was that the initially scheduled counting day fell on a Sunday. Given that Mizoram is predominantly a Christian state, residents from both rural and urban areas actively participate in church services on Sundays.
Assembly Election Exit Poll Projections
In the recent elections, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan witnessed a direct competition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress. The BJP currently holds power in Madhya Pradesh, while Congress governs the other two states.
Experts have mixed opinions on the outcomes in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, but a majority predict victories for the BJP. Despite a late push from its main competitor, the Congress is expected to maintain control in Chhattisgarh.
Telangana, established in 2014, is on the verge of having its first non-Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, with the Congress anticipated to secure a win. Meanwhile, in Mizoram, local political entities are likely to outperform the two national parties.
