2013 elections in India

The 2013 elections in India refer to the various electoral processes held in the country, including state assembly elections and the 2014 general elections, which significantly shaped the political landscape. Notably, the state assembly elections took place in several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Mizoram, from November to December 2013. These elections were characterized by a high voter turnout and marked the decline of the incumbent Indian National Congress party, while bolstering the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi. The results set the stage for the subsequent 2014 Lok Sabha elections, indicating a shift towards a more competitive political environment in India.
