==Legislative Assembly elections==
Elections to the State Legislative Assemblies were held in three [[India]]n states during February 2005, [[#Bihar|Bihar]], [[#Haryana|Haryana]] and [[#Jharkhand|Jharkhand]]. In [[Haryana]] the [[Indian National Congress]] won a landslide victory, dethroning the long-time Chief Minister [[Om Prakash Chautala]]. In [[Bihar]] and [[Jharkhand]] there was a fractured verdict. Since no government could be formed in Bihar, fresh elections were held in October–November the same year.
