New Delhi: With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) trying to expand its footprint beyond its cradle of Delhi, it is likely to have an impact on other political parties in the poll-bound states.

ABP News and CVoter conducted a snap poll in three out of five poll-bound states - Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan - to gauge the opinions of people about AAP's entry in the poll-bound states and its impact on Congress and BJP.

The Election Commission has already announced the schedule for the state legislative elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Mizoram.

Elections will be held in Mizoram in a single phase on November 7, Madhya Pradesh on November 17, and Rajasthan will go to polls on November 23. The elections in Telangana will be held in a single phase on November 30. Chhattisgarh will hold the elections in two phases – November 7 and 17. The counting of votes has been scheduled for December 3.

In Chattisgarh, 54.1% of congress supporters think that AAP's rise will harm BJP in poll-bound states, 38.3% think it will impact the party, and 31.6% voted for others.
