In these states, there are also other political parties running for office, including the Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
As of now, the BJP controls Madhya Pradesh, while the Congress is in charge of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Mizoram's chief minister is Zoramthanga of the MNF, whereas Telangana's chief minister is K Chandrashekar Rao of the BRS.
Pollsters also indicated that there was a possibility of a hung House in Mizoram with Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) locked in a close race with the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF). The Congress and the BJP were shown lagging behind in the northeastern state.
