Background

Assembly Elections 2023: Hello and welcome to the Assembly Elections 2023 live blog, please follow this space for all the latest update on Assembly elections.Assembly elections are due in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram in November-December before the Lok Sabha polls in 2024.In Rajasthan, election to the 200-seat Rajasthan Assembly is likely to be held in or before the first week of December. While the BJP will be banking on the fact that since the 1998 polls, Rajasthan is known to switch between the saffron party and the Congress in each assembly poll. The Congress, on the other hand, will be looking to buck the trend.In the Chhattisgarh assembly elections held in 2018, the Congress won 68 seats ending 15 years of BJP rule in the state. The BJP has already started preparations in advance, taking lessons from the results of the 2018 elections, to get an edge before the election schedules are announced. Madhya Pradesh will elect legislators from 230 Assembly constituencies. The last Assembly polls in 2018 saw the Congress coming to power, with veteran leader Kamal Nath taking oath as the chief minister. A political upheaval rocked the state in 2020, after the then Congressman Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 22 loyalist MLAs, switched over to the saffron camp. The Congress government fell after being reduced to a minority and the BJP formed the government, with Shivraj Singh Chouhan returning as chief minister. BJP Chief Nadda To Flag Off 51 Chariots For Taking Public Suggestions In RajasthanBJP chief J P Nadda will flag off 51 chariots to different places in Rajasthan which will collect suggestions from the public ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said on Tuesday.
