Rajasthan election 2023

In 2023, Assembly elections are due to be held in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir may also see its first Assembly elections since Article 370 was abrogated and J&K's special status was revoked on August 5, 2019. In the previous Assembly elections in December 2018, Congress wrested power from the Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government, becoming the single largest party with 100 seats in the 200-seat assembly — short of a majority by 1 seat. The BJP, on the other hand, fared far worse than the previous election, securing only 73 seats. It had secured an absolute majority of 163 seats in the 2013 Assembly elections. In 2023, there will be a direct fight between the BJP and the Congress in Rajasthan. Congress would want to fight hard for its survival. However, the rift between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot is likely to play a role as it has strengthened the negative perception problem that Congress has been battling about the in-fighting.

This was a huge win, considering the grand old party unseated and dethroned the state’s three-time Chief Minister and BJP leader Raman Singh. The election results also were a clear departure from the Opinion and Exit polls which gave the BJP a majority or predicted a neck...

How will the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 pan out? The search for an answer may occupy the minds of over a billion Indians as 2022 draws to a close and the world heads into a year will see India emerge as the most populous country on the planet. While many may assume that the writing is clear on the wall, the answer will lie in what the year ahead holds for the political parties in the 10 states where polls are scheduled — or likely to be scheduled — to be held this year. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has already claimed that 2024 will be a repeat of the humongous victory the party witnessed in the Gujarat elections held recently. However, poll outcomes in 2023 will play a key role as voters make up their minds to elect a new government at the Centre. Besides these nine states, elections are also due in Jammu and Kashmir though there is no clarity on when that may happen. Other than the state assemblies, elections are also due in the cash-rich Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in the first half of this year.
