Exit polls show BJP winning 2 big states |
A day after the polling in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Haryana, the exit polls have predicted a landslide victory for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in assembly polls for both the states. Going by the exit polls, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance is expected to form the government in Maharashtra again, while in Haryana incumbent CM Manohar Kal Khattar will get a second term. Once elected, Shiv Sena`s Aditya Thackeray, who made his political debut, is likely to get a major portfolio as he makes a start in governance. In Maharashtra, the exit Polls showed that the BJP-Sena alliance had a clear roll over their rivals, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), with 218 seats predicted for the ruling alliance in the 288-member Assembly. The Congress-NCP is expected to get 57 seats, while others may get 13. In Haryana too, the Exit Polls gave the BJP 66 seats in the Assembly of 90, while giving 14 to the Congress, two to the INLD and Akali Dal alliance and eight to other parties. The results of these exit polls are a major blow to the Congress, which was hoping to revive its fortunes in the two states. The final voter turnout in Maharashtra remained at 55.45 percent and in Haryana it was 61.92 percent. The votes will be counted on Thursday, October 24.
