While Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh unveil their electoral fate today, Mizoram's results face a one-day delay. Election Commission adjusts the date due to protests by the Mizoram NGO Coordination Committee, citing Sunday sacredness for Christians. Most exit polls anticipate a tight race between Mizo National Front and Zoram People's Movement in Mizoram. Meanwhile, BJP gains ground in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Congress charts a course to challenge K Chandrashekar Rao's long-standing rule in Telangana. As India awaits regional shifts, Mizoram's political landscape remains under wraps for another day.

The BJP's Rajasthan victory could see the rise of another 'Yogi' - popular spiritual leader Baba Balaknath, a probable CM contender in Rajasthan. Known as the Yogi of Rajasthan, the 40-year-old MP is leading from the Tijara constituency against the Congress' Imran Khan with a huge margin. Balaknath is repeatedly compared with UP's saffron-robed leader Yogi Adityanath, both being from the same Nath sect. Declining to comment on CM ambitions, Baba Balaknath said "The decision will be taken by the party. I'm happy as an MP." But his surging election margins spark speculation over emulating Adityanath's ascension after the saffron surge. Baba Balaknath, who offered prayers amid the counting, provided BJP with a Yogi-esque identity to steer Rajasthan.

In a significant electoral spectacle, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) triumphes in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh overshadowing the Congress, which had to stay contended with a substantial win in Telangana with 65 seats (+46 from 2018) against BRS's 40 (-45 from 2018). Madhya Pradesh witnesses BJP's Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan staging a comeback, leading in 164 (+55 from 2018) seats against Congress' 64 (-50 from 2018), attributing this victory to welfare schemes. Chhattisgarh sees BJP aiming for a solid win with 55 seats(+40 from 2018), challenging Congress's 32 seats (-36 from 2018). Rajasthan witnessed BJP's ascendancy with 113 seats(+40 from 2018) over Congress' 73 (-27 from 2018), with anti-incumbency playing its role in the state with a tradition of change every five years. BJP's triumphant show reshapes the political landscape in these states. Telangana's Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, seeking a third term, faces a setback as Congress leads, while he trails in one contested seat.

Redefining Telangana's political narrative, Congress chief Revanth Reddy's astute leadership has steered the party to unprecedented success. Formerly with TDP, Reddy's 2017 shift marked a turning point, and as Telangana Congress chief since 2021, he's been a visible force on the ground. Despite internal dissent, Reddy's street protests and prominent rallies, echoing Karnataka's success model, garnered immense support. Congress leadership's unwavering backing and projecting Reddy as a key player intensified his influence. Leading in Kamareddy, a BRS stronghold, and Kodangal, Reddy's strategic moves pose a substantial challenge to Chief Minister KCR, hinting at a seismic shift in Telangana's political landscape.

Though the BJP did not formally name any chief ministerial pick in Rajasthan, ex-CM Vasundhara Raje, Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, and cabinet member Arjun Ram Meghwal are seen as leading contenders as the party unseats Congress in the 2023 polls, keeping in line with Rajasthan's incumbent voting trend. Two-time CM Raje, 70, has been BJP's foremost face in the state for two decades. Shekhawat, 56, provides a Rajput identity, defeated CM Gehlot's son in 2019, and holds RSS backing. Known as an efficient administrator, 69-year-old Meghwal boasts PM Modi's trust and would give BJP a Dalit perspective. With the Congress poised to be ousted from the seats of power, Raje, Shekhawat, and Meghwal may lead in becoming BJP's choice for Rajasthan's Chief Minister.

CT Ravi, a prominent Karnataka BJP leader, took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on social media as initial election trends indicated BJP leading in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. Referencing Rahul's earlier 'panauti' remark against PM Modi, Ravi provocatively asked, 'Who is the biggest Panauti?' The comment adds a layer of political rivalry amid the ongoing electoral updates. Rahul Gandhi, who had accused Modi of jinxing India's World Cup loss, faces a show-cause notice from the Election Commission. Ravi's timely jab injects a dose of political banter into the unfolding election drama.

The BJP, led by Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan, is poised for a landslide victory in Madhya Pradesh. Chouhan eyes a historic fourth term as the BJP dominates the Assembly election results. The 'Ladli Behna Yojana,' a women-centric scheme, played a pivotal role in winning voter support. Chouhan attributes the success to the double engine BJP government and the charisma of PM Modi. As the celebrations begin at BJP headquarters in Bhopal, the Ladli Behnas are hailed for their significant contribution to the party's impressive performance. With 137 seats leading, BJP crosses the halfway mark, solidifying its dominance in Madhya Pradesh.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has surged ahead in the Chhattisgarh election results, overcoming an initial setback. Initially trailing in over 25 seats, the BJP has now seized the lead in 53 out of the 90-seat Assembly, leaving the Congress behind with 35 seats. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and former CM Raman Singh are key contenders in this electoral battleground. The state, which witnessed a two-phase assembly poll, recorded a voter turnout of 78% and 75.88% in November. The counting reveals a stunning BJP comeback, setting the stage for a potential upset for Bhupesh Baghel led Congress.             

Anti-incumbency proved to be the deciding factor in Rajasthan as was feared by the Congress. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ousted Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's "magic" to mark a thumping victory with substantial gains in the desert state (37+ seats) from the last 2018 polls. As per the trends, the BJP is poised to get 110 seats in Rajasthan, almost 37 more than in 2018, while the Congress failed miserably with only 73 seats, a loss of 27 from the previous polls. Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Sunday took a jibe at Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, saying, “The 'magic' has ended and Rajasthan has come out of the spell of the magician. People have voted for the honour of women and for the welfare of the poor.”

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is on the way to a thumping victory in Madhya Pradesh leading in 161 out of the 230 Assembly seats. While the BJP is set to gain 52+ seats from the last 2018 elections, the Congress faces a devastating loss of 48+ seats from the last polls and is poised to reach 66 seats. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's leadership stood pivotal in the giant vistory. While celebrations ensue in the BJP camp, Chouhan said, "Modi ji MP ke mann mein hain aur Modi ji ke mann mein MP hai. (Modi-ji is in MP's heart, and MP is in Modi's)" while attributing this victory to welfare schemes like the 'ladli behena' scheme for women.
