Exit Poll Results LIVE
Let’s deep dive into the exit polls results of the five states:
Rajasthan
News18’s Poll of Polls is predicting 106 seats for BJP and 80 for Ashok Gehlot’s Congress out of the total 200 seats.
Jan Ki Baat is predicting 122 seats for the BJP and 85 for the Congress; others 15 seats. Axis My India, however, shows both BJP and Congress fighting it out for the desert state with 96 seats and 90 seats, respectively.
Madhya Pradesh
Pollsters are predicting close contest for both BJP and Congress in Madhya Pradesh, but News18’s Poll of Polls is predicting saffron win in the state with 130 seats. Today’s Chanakaya has projected clean sweep for BJP , winning 151 of the total 230 seats.
Chhattisgarh
The Congress seems to have an edge over the BJP, with News18’s Poll of Polls predicting 50 seats for Bhupesh Baghel’s party. BJP’s tally is projected to have improved with 38 seats compared to last assembly elections’ 15.
Telangana
The southern state of Telangana may go in for a shock with News18’s Poll of Polls predicting 63 seats for Congress, while BRS may have to struggle, with 44 seats. Several other pollsters have projected that BRS is likely to lose in Telangana, while BJP and AIMIM could win 7-10 seats.
Mizoram
In the northeastern state, regional parties play an important role, with BJP’s ally Mizo National Front (MNF) led by chief minister Zoramthanga could secure 17 of the total 40 seats, and Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), which projected a young candidate for the top post, could secure 15 seats, indicating a hung house, according to News18’s Poll of Polls.
It is important to note that exit polls are conducted by several agencies to gauge the results before the actual one. The numbers are mere projections and could vastly differ with the actual results.
The counting of votes for the five states will take place on December 3.
