Exit Polls Favour BJP-Led Alliances in Maharashtra, Jharkhand

A majority of the exit polls have predicted that the ruling Mahayuti will retain power in Maharashtra though a couple of them have favoured the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) even as the possibility of a hung Assembly has not been ruled out too. The pollsters have given as low as 118 seats and a maximum of 195 seats to the Mahayuti. It is 69 and 150 seats for the MVA. In Jharkhand too, while most exit polls have predicted the BJP-led NDA’s victory, a couple of them have favoured the INDIA bloc. Here too a hung Assembly is not ruled out. Exit polls have, however, gone off-mark time and again with the latest being in Haryana, where they favoured the Congress but the BJP scored a hat-trick. In Lok Sabha polls too, their predictions had fallen flat.
