Scoring a hat-trick in Delhi and getting a two-thirds majority in Mizoram after a decade in wilderness, the Congress party, however, fell five short of majority in the 200-member assembly in Rajasthan.

With a number of party rebels and independents winning in Rajasthan, the party hopes to cobble a majority without any difficulty.

Ousting the Vasundhara Raje government, the Congress won 96 seats while the BJP got 78 seats and BSP six.

Independents have won 14 seats while others account for six, including one of Samajwadi Party.
