Celebrations erupted outside the congress headquarters in delhi as the counting of ballots for the four states - madhya pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and rajasthan - began at 8 a.m. on Sunday. A video posted by ANI shows music, dance, and jubilation outside the party's headquarters in Delhi. Another video showed laddoos being prepared, as the counting of votes began across the four states.
The outcome of the assembly elections will not only have a significant influence on the country's political landscape, but they may also signal a watershed moment in the careers of some regional satraps, particularly those in the bjp, around whom politics in their respective states has revolved for decades.
The stakes are especially high for bjp leader and madhya pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who is counting on his government's welfare packages to fend off the congress and others within his party seeking to unseat him as the party's leader in the state. With the counting of votes underway, the people of madhya pradesh will come to know whether the bjp led by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan retain his home turf or if the Kamal Nath-led congress will make a comeback.
