November will be one of the most decisive months for political parties in India as Vidhan Sabha elections in Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana are scheduled. Chhattisgarh and Mizoram will be the first to go to polls on 7th November (elections in Chhattisgarh are to be held in two phases on 7 November for 20 seats and 17 November for the remaining 70 seats). Both the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC) are engaged in arduous efforts to secure a majority. In the run up to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in early 2024, INC is exerting all its energy to get support at the local level against the incumbent BJP governments.
