Assembly Polls 2023

After a setback in the December 2023 assembly polls, the BJP has re-emerged as the principal challenger to the Congress, which secured the mandate to govern the state under the leadership of Revanth Reddy.

BSP Lok Sabha candidate from Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh Kankar Munjare on Saturday said he had left home, which he shares with his Congress MLA wife Anubha Munjare, since two persons following different ideologies must not stay under one roof.

A Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader who unsuccessfully contested the 2023 Assembly polls was shot dead in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur city on Monday night, police said.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi lawmaker K Kavitha hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi Christmas morning, reviving jabs from before last month's Telangana election - in which the Congress thumped the BRS - mocking him as "Election Gandhi".

The BJP on Tuesday unveiled first-time MLA Bhajanlal Sharma as the new Rajasthan Chief Minister, completing a hat-trick of left field picks to lead states it won last month.

Having sprung two surprises in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, the BJP is likely to announce the name of the chief minister for Rajasthan today.

The BJP has announced nine observers, including three union ministers, to assist in selecting Chief Ministers for the three states it won on Sunday - Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh.

Despite its declining usage, with a notable drop from 1.41 per cent in 2018 to 0.97 per cent in recent polls, the presence of NOTA continues to impact election dynamics subtly yet significantly.

Revanth Reddy arrived for his swearing-in ceremony Thursday - the 54-year-old is now Chief Minister of Telangana - in an open-top jeep waving to a vocal and adoring crowd, and with top Congress leader Sonia Gandhi by his side.

Who are the 11 newly-elected Congress MLAs to be sworn to the Telangana cabinet with incoming Chief Minister Revanth Reddy?

The richest MLA in the newly elected Madhya Pradesh Assembly has declared assets of Rs 223 crore. Somewhere on the other end of the spectrum is Kamleshwar Dodiyar, who worked as a labourer and tiffin delivery boy to fund his education.

Amid the speculation over who the BJP will choose as Chief Ministers in three heartland states, one of the frontrunners in Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, appears to be sending subtle messages to the party leadership

As many as 17 of the 90 MLAs in the newly elected Chhattisgarh assembly have declared criminal cases against themselves, with six facing serious charges like voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation.

Ten of 12 BJP MPs who contested and won seats in November's state elections - including union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar and Prahlad Patel - resigned from Parliament on Wednesday.
