At the same time, if we talk about the ongoing assembly elections in five states, voting will be held in Rajasthan on 25th November, while in Madhya Pradesh, voting will be held on 17th November. Voting was to be held in two phases in Chhattisgarh, in which the first phase of voting was held on 7th November and now the last phase of voting will be held on 17th November. Voting will be held in Telangana on 30 November.
There is a BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, while there is a Congress government in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The main contest in all three states is between BJP and Congress. At the same time, in Telangana also, BJP is trying to find its roots.
