NDTV, Scroll
Several exit polls on Wednesday predicted a narrow victory for the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election and a close contest in the Jharkhand election.
In Maharashtra, the ruling Mahayuti is projected to win around 150 seats, while the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi may win 125 seats, according to an average of exit poll predictions compiled by NDTV. The half-way mark is at 145 seats in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is projected to win 39 seats, while the I.N.D.I.A bloc is predicted to win 38 seats, according to NDTV’s average of exit polls. This could mean that neither coalition will touch the halfway mark of 41 needed to form the government in the 81-seat Assembly.
Votes for the election to the Legislative Assemblies of both states will be counted on Saturday.
