Voters had clearly rejected the BJP in what was an indication of things to come in 2019, Congress leaders said on Tuesday as trends showed the party ahead in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and locked in a tantalising, see-saw battle in Madhya Pradesh.
The party is likely to get an absolute majority in Chhattisgarh and is reaching the simple majority mark in Rajasthan while going neck-and-neck in Madhya Pradesh, according to trends on the Election Commission website.
The BJP is in power in all three Hindi heartland states. "We are confident that the Congress will get a clear majority and will form government in Rajasthan," senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot told PTI.
