The high-octane poll battle in Karnataka has reinstated Congress' fate in the state, setting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the backfoot and wrecking Janata Dal (Secular)'s hope to become the kingmaker. However, it isn't the end of the fight for all national parties in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Congress will have more assembly elections to prove its worth after it has seen more defeats than victories in state assembly elections and general elections since 2014. Similarly, BJP will have its chance to capture the throne in majority of these states.

Currently, Congress is in power in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, as well as in Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand as a part of the ruling alliance.

Check out the list of upcoming assembly elections here:

Rajasthan

The current 200-member assembly in the state will dissolve on January 14, 2024, and election of next assembly is likely to be held before December.
