Touted to be as the semi-finals of Lok Sabha elections 2019, the assembly elections for the five states – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram – will witness a high decibel battle between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Opposition. The three Hindi heartland states – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh – have BJP government at the helm. The saffron party had swept the three states last time in a whirlwind campaign anchored by Narendra Modi, then sitting Gujarat chief minister and BJP’s prime ministerial candidate. The Congress had won Mizoram in a landslide by bagging 35 out of total 40 seats. Telangana, which came to existence as India’s 29th state in 2014, will see its first ever elections, to be held earlier then scheduled.
