Here are the key takeaways from the 2023 assembly election results ... Congress wins 4th state Around this time last year, the Congress was in power in just Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. In the opposition rankings, it was neck-and-neck with the Aam Aadmi Party which is also in power in two states.

This means the grand old party will now have a greater bargaining chip if the opposition parties decide to form a united front with Congress. Regaining confidence Be it state or national elections, the BJP juggernaut has crushed the Congress in almost evert state over the last few years. But 2023 can be a turning point for the grand old party. The results of the Karnataka elections will give much-needed confidence to Congress when it com...
