India has 28 states and 8 union territories, but only 2 UTs have legislative assemblies - Delhi and Puducherry. Following the state Assembly elections of November 2023, the BJP has swept Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh putting Congress out of power and retained Madhya Pradesh in the 2023 State Assembly elections. Now, the BJP-led N.D.A. (National Democratic Alliance) is in power in 17 states and one UT.
The I.N.D.I.A. alliance, of which Congress is a part of, is in power in 9 states and one UT. The Congress on its own is now in power in only three states- Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka. It is part of the ruling alliance of Bihar, Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu.
