1)
Mizoram:
The state which has the maximum turnout this year of 80.31% was Mizoram. Mizoram had a peaceful election conducted for 40 seats. The exit poll declared Mizo National Front (MNF) as the winner. The fight is definitely between Congress, MNF, BJP, National People's Party and Zoram People's Movement. If Congress wins the election in the state then it will be its 3rd term since 2008.
The kingmaker: BJP and ZPM
2)
Madhya Pradesh:
The state gave a 75.05% turnout this year for 230 seats. BJP fielded for 230 seats and Congress for 229 seats.
BSP is confident of getting 15 seats. If that happens,
BSP will be the kingmaker here. If BJP wins it will be its 4th term in the state, whereas Congress has not won for the past 15 years.
3)
Chhattisgarh:
Voter turnout in this Naxal affected state was 76.6%, which was 71.13% in 2013. The state has 72 Assembly seats. And BJP is in power for the last 15 years.
The major twist here happened when Ajit Jogi and Mayawati join hands with each other.
And this combined party of Jogi's Janata Congress and Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party is expecting 7 seats, so this has lots of possibility to become the kingmaker here.

Rajasthan:
This Assembly election got a turnout of 74%. After the direct face off between Congress and BJP in as many as 130 seats, the exit poll showed Congress' victory. It has total 200 seats but election took place in only 199 seats due to sudden death of a BSP candidate from Ramgarh constituency.
This state has many rebels and also independent parties, who can easily become the kingmakers.
Congress had expelled 28 rebels and BJP 11, which means Congress has a good figure for coalition with the rebels, and ofcourse vouch for horse trading and target BJP expelled rebels.
5)
Telangana:
Polling percentage was 73.2, it was 69.5 in last election. The exit polls claimed TRS winner, and if this comes true KCR will become CM for 2nd term here. The magic figure is 60 for total seats of 119.
TRS, BJP and AIMIM fought as individual parties.
Congress-led People's Front which includes Congress, Telugu Desam Party, Telangana Jana Samiti and CPI had jointly fought election.
MIM expects 7 seats, so it may turn the kingmaker here.
