Congress, the grand old party achieved significant success in southern India, snatching Telangana from K Chandrashekar Rao's Bharat Rashtra Samithi. The grand old party will be the first non-KCR government in Telangana.


Rajasthan: The BJP won 115 seats in the 199-member assembly & Congress secured 69 seats. A party needs 101 seats in Rajasthan to reach the majority mark in the 200-member assembly.
 

Madhya Pradesh: The BJP gained 54 seats compared to 2018 to win 163 seats in this year's MP election. The Congress 64 seats — a loss of 50 seats compared to 2018. An interesting part of the results was that while the Congress maintained almost a similar vote share (40-41%), the BJP increased its vote share by 7-8 percentage points.

Chhattisgarh: The final results shocked many experts, who predicted the Congress to retain power here. The initial trends from the counting centers showed Congress gaining a substantial lead. But the BJP reversed the trend to win its biggest victory with 54 seats in the assembly. The Congress won just 35.
 
 

Telangana: The Congress shocked the BRS to win 65 seats, with the ruling party finishing with 39 seats. The BJP improved its tally from one to eight, with K Venkata Ramana Reddy defeating CM KCR and Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy in Kamareddy. But three of its four Lok Sabha MPs tasted defeat.
