BJP as the party looks set to clinch the semifinals to the Lok Sabha elections 2024 with victories in the Hindi heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
For Congress, it was a bittersweet (more bitter, less sweet) day as the grand old party recorded a spirited victory in Telangana but lost power in both Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. In MP, it failed to even pose a challenge to the BJP.
The regional parties, including the outgoing BRS in Telangana, failed to impress in the final assembly elections of 2023.
