Exit Polls: BJP-Shiv Sena to win 38 seats in Maharashtra
Share:

Most exit polls have predicted that saffron supremacy is there to stay in Maharashtra. The exit polls, conducted by the Times Now-VMR poll tracker, has predicted that the NDA alliance will get 38 seats - a loss of five seats as compared to what it got in 2014 Lok Sabha Polls. The NDA, which had amassed 42 seats out of 48 in 2014, is likely to settle down at 35 to 36, an average of eight polls suggests. Shiv Sena, a part of the NDA, had won 18 seats in 2014, but now it's projected to win 11 to 13 seats, according to some of the polls.

On the other hand, the Congress-led UPA is likely to win 10 seats in Maharashtra, where it is contesting in alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of Sharad Pawar. In the immediate future, there is a chance that the NCP might offer a helping hand to the single largest party if such a situation arises for government formation.

The 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra are expected to play a crucial role in electing the next government in Delhi. In terms of seats, Maharashtra is at the second position after Uttar Pradesh which has 80 seats. However, the biggest message from the exit polls is for the Congress: that it might need to buckle up afresh.
