Although Congress had won 54 percentage of the Assembly seats cumulatively in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan in 2018, it failed to use the momentum during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, only winning 4.62 percentage of the seats available.

Data from previous elections show that Assembly elections preceding Lok Sabha polls in a state cannot always be used as a reliable measure to understand the mood of the voters, especially since 2018.
