Assemble election results: BJP's Prem Shukla Vs Congress' Rajiv Tyagi

A resurgent Congress Tuesday made significant gains in the Assembly elections, dealing a body blow to the BJP in Chattisgarh and Rajasthan and was locked in a cliffhanger in Madhya Pradesh.
The reverses for the BJP in the Hindi heartland threw wide open the 2019 Lok Sabha elections which until a few months ago appeared to be in the grip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party.
The Assembly polls held for five states also saw the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) recording a landslide win for a second consecutive term and the Mizo National Front (MNF) scripting a spectacular victory dislodging the Congress in its last bastion in the Northeast to return to power after 10 years.
Buoyed by Congress' good showing in the polls that was dubbed as a semi-final for the 2019 general elections, party president Rahul Gandh said the outcome is a "clear message" to the Modi government that people are not happy with it and time has come for a change.
