New Delhi: According to exit polls forecast, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) will be emerging as the single largest party emerging closest to the threshold of 202 seats in the 403-seat of Uttar Pradesh assembly.

 

 

The exit polls conducted by the group of five companies which are as follows ABP-CSDS, TimesNow-VMR, India TV-CVoter, India Today-Axis and MRC, only Axis suggested the BJP getting a clear majority with 265 seats. The rest predicted that the BJP would stay below the 200-mark.

The CSDS survey gave the BJP 175 seats, MRC 185 seats, C-Voter 161 seats and VMR 200 seats. The average figure, or the poll of polls, worked out to be 197 seats for the BJP. This is still slightly short of the simple majority mark.

The exit polls report says that combined combination of Samajwadi Party and the Congress is casing far behind. The highest number of seats was given to the alliance by ABP-CSDS, which showed it getting 163 seats.

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which was being seen as the proverbial dark horse by a few political pundits, has been projected by all the surveys as the distant third-Mayawati’s party getting an average of 68 seats.

The MRC gave it 90 seats, C-Voter 87, ABP-SCDS 66, VMR 64 and Axis polls gave it just 35 seats.
