Congress, Leading In 2 States, Calls INDIA Meet On Wednesday: Sources

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has called for the next meeting of the INDIA opposition bloc to be held in Delhi on Wednesday, sources said this morning. The news came as the party leads in counting of votes for two Assembly elections - early trends show it is set to retain Chhattisgarh and, in a surprise result, defeat Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao; his BRS has been in power since 2014.

In the battle for two others, the Congress is projected to lose Rajasthan - which has unfailingly voted out incumbent governments for the past three decades - out to national rivals BJP.
