Assembly election results 2018 was a roller coaster ride in today's trading session that was definitely not for the faint-hearted. Tuesday, which was widely believed would turn out as a black day on  Dalal Street, surprisingly turned out to be very fruitful. The investors ended up richer than before even as most were bracing for a doomsday! In the midst of Assembly Elections 2018 held in five states, Sensex and Nifty ignored the fear of BJP not bagging a majority in three top states namely Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh after the recently concluded assembly elections. The counting is happening today and the trends have put Congress ahead in all three states. However, in Telangana and Mizoram, the vote count was also being done for these 2 states too, but both the BJP and Congress lost badly.
