Uttar Pradesh is the state where the Bharatiya Janata Party had performed remarkably in the 2014 elections by winning over 70 seats in India’s most populous state.
According to the India Today-Axis exit poll, BJP is predicted to give a big jolt to the Mahagathbandhan and is likely to win 62-68 seats. On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party alliance is likely to win 10-16 seats while the Congress is likely to win 1-2 seats.
As per the Times Now-VMR exit poll, BJP is likely to win 43 seats while others (SP+BSP+Independents) are winning 25 seats with Congress only bagging 2 seats. While Republic-Jan Ki Baat predicts 46-57 seats for BJP, 2-4 for Congress and 21-32 for others.
The only contrasting poll that predicts a huge win for the Mahagathbandhan is ABP-AC Nielsen which predicts 56 seats for the BSP, SP alliance and others.
