Cong set to win Delhi, Rajasthan; BJP retains MP

As the counting continues in five states Congress seems all set to form the Government in Rajasthan and Delhi while BJP is having a clear lead in Madhya Pradesh even as the two parties race neck to neck in Chhattisgarh.
The early trends in the Assembly polls for the five states indicate Congress forging ahead in 66 seats of BJP- ruled Rajasthan where the saffron party was ahead only in 36 seats.
In Delhi, the Sheila Dikshit-led Congress is far ahead in the trends leading in 20 seats as against 11 of the BJP. In three seats, 'others' are ahead -- two LJP and one BSP.
However two Delhi ministers Raj Kumar Chauhan and Haroon Yousuf are trailing.
In Mizoram, the first result went in favour of Lalthanwala of Congress when he won the South Tui Pui seat by a margin of 96 votes. In the state, Congress was leading in three and MNF in two.
In Chhatisgarh, the BJP is slightly ahead of the Congress with early trends indicating that the saffron party was leading in 30 seats and Congress 28.
