After a big defeat in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot told NDTV, "The results are shocking. We have not only lost in Rajasthan but also in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, I'm here to help people and I will continue to do so, doesn't matter if I'm in power or not". The BJP is comfortably leading in two other states, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The Congress is ahead in Telangana, its sole consolation in this round of state polls.
