Congress, which had put up a good show in States where Assembly elections are due shortly, is buoyant about its prospects but BJP feels issues will be different now and the performance will be different.

Assembly polls are likely in <b>Maharashtra, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh and Jharkhand</b>.

The Congress registered a good show in Maharashtra in the Lok Sabha elections, securing 17 of the 48 seats while it made a virtual clean sweep in Haryana by bagging nine out of ten seats.

Leader of the Opposition LK Advani has declared that the Opposition Shiv Sena-BJP alliance plans to give the Congress a run for its money in Maharashtra. The BJP is accusing the Congress of arrogance of power in Haryana and claims that the party has not a "ghost of a chance" in Jharkhand<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
