The five state assembly elections have been billed as semi-finals before the 2019 national polls, with the Congress asserting that the mandate from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram on Tuesday would send a “clear message” against the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

Rejecting the exit-poll results, most of which have forecast gains for Congress in at least four states including a clear majority in Rajasthan, the BJP leaders said the final results should be awaited even as they sought to de-link the state polls from the next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

The Election Commission has set up a secure facility for disseminating trends and results through its new website http://eciresults.nic.in. The link will start functioning from 8 am and will show updates continuously.
