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. 

the Congress party has secured a significant lead in the Telangana Assembly elections, maintaining its position on 70 seats out of the 119-seat assembly. The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) follows with gains on 38 seats, while the BJP and AIMIM are trailing with leads in 8 and 3 seats, respectively. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is leading in one of his contested constituencies, while BJP's Eatala Rajendar is trailing. The battle for the majority mark of 60 seats intensifies as Telangana witnesses a potential political shift. BRS has loosen control over the state for the first time since its birth in 2014.

Following early leads indicating BJP's triumph with 124 seats in the 230-seat assembly in Madhya pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan confidently declares, "I am confident that with the blessings of the people and the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP will form government again with a full majority." Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia echoes assurance, stating, "We will wait till the complete results are in. We will form government with complete majority. The people's faith in PM and the welfare schemes are the reasons for such a mandate." The BJP remains optimistic about continued governance in Madhya Pradesh.

As the vote count progresses for Telangana's 119 assembly seats, early trends reveal a noteworthy surge for the Congress, leading on 63 seats, surpassing the majority by three. In contrast, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is trailing with 25 seats. If this trajectory holds, it would mark a historic shift from BRS's continuous governance since the state's establishment in 2014. Anti-incumbency sentiments, fueled by factors such as the Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima schemes, challenge BRS's stronghold. Exit polls predicting Congress's 62-seat win underscore the potential transformation in Telangana's political landscape. The state witnessed a 71.34% voter turnout, slightly lower than the 2018 figures.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) faced technical glitches as users reported the crashing of its website during the counting of Assembly Elections 2023 in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana. Social media was flooded with complaints about the website being inaccessible or showing no trends even at 9 am. Sources revealed the Election Commission was investigating the issues, causing a delay in providing early trend numbers. Despite exit polls predicting a close contest between Congress and BJP, users anxiously awaited official updates on the ECI website, highlighting the challenges of accessing real-time election data.
