 "Rajasthan Assembly elections results 2023: Who is leading at 10:30 am?")
The counting for the Rajasthan Assembly election results 2023 began at 8 am on Sunday. The state will likely have a two-way battle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress. Polling was done in a single phase for 199 of the 200 Assembly seats on November 25. Polls saw a turnout of 74.16 per cent, only slightly above the 2018 voting percentage of 74.06 per cent. Congress and BJP have dominated the elections in Rajasthan, with the two parties alternating governments since 1993. In the 2018 elections, the Congress party formed the state government with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and Ashok Gehlot became the chief minister.
