In India’s five states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa, and Punjab, the stage is set for local elections (Legislative Assembly elections).
The Bharatiya Janata Party governs the first four, while the Congress governs the fifth.
Despite the fact that the dates have yet to be set, all political parties in the election-bound states have begun flexing their muscles.
The Legislative Assembly elections in India are held every 5 years in which the Indian electorate chooses the members of the Vidhan Sabha (or Legislative/State Assembly).
In March 2022, the Legislative Assemblies of Goa, Manipur, Punjab, and Uttarakhand will finish their tenures.
The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly’s term is set to end in May.
