భారతీయ జనతా పార్టీకి ఘోర పరాభవం తప్పలేదు. మధ్యప్రదేశ్ , రాజస్థాన్ వంటి రాష్ట్రాల్లో భారతీయ జనతా పార్టీ అనుకున్న దానికంటే ఎక్కువ స్థానాలు సాధించినా…ఛత్తీస్ ఘడ్ లో మాత్రం ఇది కుదరలేదు. దీనికి పదిహేనేళ్లుగా ముఖ్యమంత్రిగా ఉన్న రమణ్ సింగ్ పాలనపై వ్యతిరేకత ఒకవైపు ఉంటే…. బీజేపీ అధిష్టానం తీసుకున్న సొంత నిర్ణయాలు కూడా పార్టీ కొంప ముంచాయన్న విశ్లేషణలు విన్పిస్తున్నాయి. రమణ్ సింగ్ మాట అధిష్టానం పెడచెవిన…

Rajasthan Assembly Election 2018: Counting of votes will begin shortly. Stay with us for LIVE updates on Rajasthan election result

Rajasthan Assembly Election 2018: Counting of votes has begun in Rajasthan. As exit polls predicted, Congress has taken early lead in the desert-state. Exit polls said Congress would defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), throwing out incumbent Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s government.

A party needs 101 seats in the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly, but election in one seat was rescheduled after a candidate died. The BJP had won 163 seats in the 2013 Rajasthan Assembly elections and secured a vote share of 46.03%, a jump of about eight percentage points over 2008. The Congress had bagged 21 seats with a vote share of 34.27%, a fall of two percentage points.

Rajasthan has a record of not returning any party to power since 1998 and it flip-flops between the BJP and Congress.

The Congress is contesting on 195 seats and has given five seats to its allies — two each to the Loktantrik Janata Dal and the Rashtriya Lok Dal, and one to the Nationalist Congress Party.

The BJP is contesting in all 200 seats on its own.

Chhattisgarh recorded a 76.60 per cent voter turnout when elections were held on November 12 and 20 to elect a new 90-member Assembly.

Madhya Pradesh registered a voter turnout of around 75% in the November 28 Assembly polls. The state has a 230-seat Assembly, where the majority mark is 116. The BJP contested on all 230 seats, the Congress fought on 229, leaving one to its ally, the Loktantrik Janata Dal.

The BSP and the Samajwadi Party (SP), which has allied with the Gondwana Gantantra Party, and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are the other players to watch out for as election results come. The BSP has fielded 227 candidates, while SP and AAP have fielded 51 and 208 candidates.
