Big Jolt to PM Modi! Congress to win 2 of 3 BJP-ruled states in the upcoming assembly elections, says poll of opinion polls

As Assembly Elections are approaching five states by the end of the year an aggregate of opinion polls shows it will be a big jolt for the BJP ruling in 3 states. The Bhartiya Janta Party-ruled states are Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

According to the polls of the opinion poll, the Congress might win the two of the BJP ruled states--Rajasthan and, with a wafer thin margin, Chhattisgarh.

However, it also says, BJP may manage to retain only Madhya Pradesh, a state it has been ruling for three straight terms under Shivraj Singh Chouhan leadership.

It is very important for Congress to win maximum assembly elections to give a neck-to-neck fight to BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha polls, who is ruling in the centre and in most of the states. If Congress wins in two states in the assembly poll, it will be a huge boost for the opposition, which has been trying to unite to stop BJP from coming in the power again.

Out of the 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, the BJP will win 126 - a majority, Congress will get 97 seats, as per opinion polls conducted by C Voter, IETech Group and Times Now. The majority mark in the state assembly is at 116 seats.

While in Rajasthan, Congress likely to get 129 seats and BJP is expected to get 63 seats. The majority mark in the assembly is at 101 seats. In Chhattisgarh, Congress likely to win 47 seats in the 90-member assembly, while BJP might roll down to 39 seats, shows the aggregate of the C Voter, IETech Group and Times Now opinion polls.
