BJP forges ahead in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, has edge in Chhattisgarh; Congress leads over BRS in Telangana

The BJP is set for a comfortable win in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and is leading in Chhattisgarh. In Telangana, the Congress is all set to snatch power from the K Chandrashekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) that was hoping for a hat-trick in the state. With the initial poll trends giving an edge to the BJP in Rajasthan, Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Sunday took a jibe at chief minister Ashok Gehlot, saying people have come out of the spell of the "magician".
