The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the election schedule for the general elections to the legislative assemblies of Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Telangana.
Telangana's upcoming assembly election is expected to be a three-way race between the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress.
In the 2018 election, the BRS won 88 seats out of 119, with a vote share of 47.4%. The Congress came in second with 19 seats and a vote share of 28.7%.
Ramesh Chennithala, former Leader of Opposition in the Kerala assembly and senior Congress leader, made the statement while speaking to reporters in New Delhi.
Congress initiated the INDIA bloc or front with the explicit intention of preventing the BJP from returning to power for a third term, at all costs.
