Assembly Election Results 2018: Decision on CM faces in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, MP today

After hours of a neck-and-neck fight, the Congress is inching towards the halfway mark against the BJP in Madhya Pradesh.

A resurgent Congress emerged victorious in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and became the single-largest party in Madhya Pradesh. It, however, was knocked out of power in Mizoram with the Mizo National Front (MNF) sweeping the polls. K Chandrasekhar Rao's Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) secured the absolute majority in Telangana. In Chhattisgarh, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled for 15 years, the Congress swept a clear two-third majority with 68 seats, against the half-way mark of 46. Likewise, in the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly, the Congress bagged 99 seats, while its pre-poll ally Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) won one. In Madhya Pradesh, which witnessed a long-drawn countdown to the results, Congress secured 114 seats, missing the majority mark by two seats. 

A decision on Chief Minister's faces will be decided today.

TRACK RESULTS: Madhya Pradesh | Rajasthan | Telangana | Chhattisgarh | Mizoram
