The Election Commission (ECI) today announced poll scedule for five states - Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana.
Elections will be held in Telangana on November 30, the poll body said.
Results for elections in five states will be announced on December 3.
Telangana is set to witness a triangular contest between the BJP, the ruling BRS and the Congress. The elections will serve as a litmus test for the INDIA alliance before the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The resounding victory of the Congress in the Karnataka Assembly polls has changed the political narrative, with the grand old party brimming with confidence while a bruised BJP appears not so formidable in the southern state.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), will slug it out for the third time after winning the polls in 2014 and again in 2018.
Polls in the five states will have 8.2 crore male and 7.8 crore female voters, election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said.
Nearly 16 crore voters would be eligible to cast their votes.
