How many states in India are now being ruled by Congress?
After defeating BJP in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in the recent Assembly elections, Congress and its allies now control governments in five of the 29 states in India. Congress lost Mizoram Assembly elections to Mizo National Front (MNF), after having ruled the state since 2008. Notably, the Union Territory of Puducherry is also ruled by the Congress party.
