EXIT POLLS DECLARES.................WIN-WIN FOR BJP

Election time is over and now the countdown begins.19th october will decide the future of four major political parties and our Bharat.But some predictions are if believed,the BJP is at the top.At least three exit polls put the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) ahead but short of a clear majority in Maharashtra and Haryana on Wednesday, a ringing endorsement of the so-called 'Modi magic' that may have helped the party come into its own in the two politically crucial states. The polls in both the states have been one of the most keenly fought and watched after the 2014 General Elections in May. 

MAJOR  HIGHLIGHTS ARE:-
  • Haryana today registered a record voter turnout with 73 percent of the electorate exercising
  • their franchise to choose the next government in the state
  • In Maharashtra a turnout of 63.4 percent was recorded till 6 pm.
  • In the outgoing Assembly, Congress had 40 seats; BJP had only four, INLD 31 and HJC 6. Others had 9
  • The counting of votes is to be done on October 19 but before that the BJP was today projected in exit polls to emerge as the single largest party in both Maharashtra and Haryana Assembly elections stopping short of majority.
  • The Congress and NCP, which were ruling Maharashtra for 15 years before they split ahead of the elections, were projected to lose heavily while Shiv Sena was predicted to emerge as the second largest party. 
  • According to C-voter exit poll telecast on Times Now, the BJP was projected to get 138 out of 288 seats.
  •  Today's Chanakya exit poll telecast on News24 channel gave BJP and allies a clear majority with 151 seats 
  • Shiv Sena was given 71. Congress was given 27 while NCP 28. The numbers for MNS were not available while others were projected to get 11.
  • If the projections come true, the BJP will be forming the government in Haryana for the first time ever.
  • Voting was "by and large" peaceful in both the states barring a few incidents of violence, as per PTI.
  • Chief Electoral Officer Umesh Sinhala said that the voter turnout is tentative as there was voting at some booths even after 6 pm.
  • The security included over 1.22 lakh state police personnel, 320 companies of Central Reserve Police Force.

It was in contention for power for the first time in Haryana, where it was a junior partner in the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) government in 2000. Similarly in Maharashtra, the BJP had so far played second fiddle to the Shiv Sena, which led the coalition government in the state from 1995 to 1999. The Congress-NCP alliance ruled the state for 15 years from 1999.
In case of a hung verdict, the shaping up of new political alliances promises to be another interesting chapter following the high-stakes elections.
