Apart from Telangana, the Congress is trailing far behind the halfway mark in all three northern states. While in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, the BJP is defeating the incumbent Congress governments, in Madhya Pradesh it has defeated the anti-incumbency in retaining the power. The saffron party is leading in 166 out of 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, 115 out of 199 seats in Rajasthan and 55 out of 90 seats in Chhattisgarh.

As somewhat of a consolation, the Congress is poised to dethrone the decade-old BRS rule in Telangana as the party is leading in 64 seats in the 119-member assembly.
