Exit Polls Cheer For Congress

If the exit polls hold true, then Congress is set to make a comeback in the 90-seat-strong Haryana. It means the BJP will not be able to achieve a consecutive third term. Predictions of different exit polls pegged the seat tally for Congress in Haryana between 44 and 64 seats, while the BJP is expected to secure 15 to 32 seats. In Jammu and Kashmir, with nine of the total 90 seats being ST seats, the exit polls suggest no clear winner but the Congress-National Conference alliance holds an advantage with 35-50 seats. The BJP is shown lagging with 20-34 seats. Results for both J&K and Haryana will be announced on October 8.
Reminder: Exit polls had gone horribly wrong in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
