Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President Ripun Bora on Sunday submitted his resignation from the post owing to party's poor performance in the Assam Assembly Elections 2021.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday congratulated TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee for her victory in the West Bengal assembly elections.
She also congratulated DMK chief MK Stalin, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Chief Minister of Assam Sarbananda Sonowal for the victory of their parties in the state assembly polls.
A high voltage state-wide campaign raising the Sabarimala women's entry issue and gold smuggling scam failed to better the fortunes of the Congress-led UDF at the hustings,as it lacked a strong state leadership to take on the Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF on the ground.
Senior party leader K Sudhakaran openly attacked AICC general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal and veterans Ramesh Chennithala and Oommen Chandy, alleging that they were responsible for all the trouble the party found itself in.
The choice of leader of legislative party is something which is decided by democratic means. Once results are notified&assembly is constituted,a due decision would be taken with cognizance of highest opulence of our party: BJP leader and Union Minister Jitendra Singh on next Assam CM
The DMK, which seems set to come to power in Tamil Nadu, on Sunday requested the Election Commission to replace the Returning Officer of the Viralimalai Assembly constituency for malpractice and count the votes as per law.
In its complaint, the DMK said around 4,000 votes polled in favour of the party candidate Palaniappan were counted in favour of AIADMK candidate and Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar, who was shown to be leading with about 3,000 votes.
Top Congress leaders in Kerala on Sunday gracefully accepted their defeat in the April 6 Assembly polls as it seemed the party-led United Democratic Front will, in all likelihood, end up with less seats than 2016.
"We did not expect this sort of result... We will sit down now and do an introspection on what happened. We raised a lot of issues of allegations against the Vijayan government. Just because they have won the polls does not mean all such issues will be washed away. No, it won't as all what we raised were facts and truths and in all what we raised, Vijayan himself had to withdraw from it. All issues will be discussed when our leaders meet," Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala said.
Congratulations to MK Stalin for the victory. People of Tamil Nadu have voted for change and we will, under your leadership, prove to be a confident step in that direction. Best wishes: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
Counting is still underway but it is clear that BJP is forming the government once again. This has been possible because of the public cooperation: Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal
Election strategist Prashant Kishor, who had claimed back in December that the BJP will struggle to cross double digits in the West Bengal assembly polls or else he will quit, Sunday announced he is "quitting this space".
"I am quitting this space," he told India Today TV channel after trends showed a landslide victory for the TMC, the party whose election strategy he helped craft for the assembly elections.
NCP president Sharad Pawar on Sunday congratulated Mamata Banerjee, Pinarayi Vijayan and M K Stalin as their parties look set to win the assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu respectively.
The counting of votes for the assembly elections in these states is currently on.
With DMK+Congress-led alliance all set to sweep the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections, DMK chief MK Stalin has asked his party workers to avoid victory celebrations keeping in mind the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the administration in the state.
Currently, DMK is leading in 119 Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu, as per Election Commission trends.

Background
Assembly Election Results 2021 HIGHLIGHTS After months of electioneering and hectic campaigning, the day arrives when it will be declared which Party or Candidates were able to woo or retain the faith of voters.

As per the other instructions, candidates and agents are not be allowed inside the counting hall unless they have a valid report Covid negative report of RT-PCR or Rapid Antigen Test obtained not more than 48 hours ago.
WB Election Results 2021 Live: Much of the focus during campaigning was on West Bengal where the battle is directly between Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and BJP. Heavyweights like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister were some of the common visitors from BJP in Bengal for campaigning. Mamata, known for her furore, was equally active despite an injury to her leg. As BJP claims 200+ seats, it is to be keenly seen if Mamta Banerjee is able to claim chief ministers' chair for the third consecutive time.

Though the expectations are in favour of BJP backed NDA as per Exit Polls, Congress-led UPA - which also includes Badaruddin Ajmal's AIUDF - is also ruffling enough feathers to make the state assembly hung.
