While the Congress won 114 out of the total 230 seats, the BJP won 106. 116 is the majority mark. Kamal Nath of the Congress formed the government. But Jyothiraditya Scindia who was smarting under the domination of Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh had left the Congress with some 20 legislators and joined the BJP enabling Shivraj Chowhan to form his fourth government.

In Chhattisgarh, the Congress won clear majority. It won 68 out of the total 90 seats while the BJP had won 15 seats. The Congress claimed a vote share of 43 percent. Bhupesh Baghel formed the government which has been stable.

In Rajasthan the Congress won 100 out of the total 200 seats, one seat less than majority mark. It was supported by BSP which had six members. The BJP had to sit in the opposition with 73 seats. Though there was a semblance of a revolt by the young Congress leader, it was half hearted and could not succeed. Gehlot continues to head the Congress government.
