Maharashtra Election Results: As Counting Begins, Here's What The Exit Polls Predicted
Maharashtra went to polls in five phases of the recently concluded general elections in the country.
The counting of votes for the Maharashtra Assembly elections began at 8 am today, with exit polls largely favoring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance in the 288-seat contest. The majority mark is set at 145 seats.
Several exit polls, including Axis-My India, Peoples Pulse, Poll Diary, and Today’s Chanakya, predict a dominant performance for the BJP-led coalition, with each forecasting a minimum of 175 seats. Chanakya Strategies, Matrize, and Times Now-JVC also anticipate a clear victory for the Mahayuti, projecting at least 150 seats for the alliance.
In contrast, only Electoral Edge predicts a narrow win for the Congress-led MVA, projecting a five-seat lead over the BJP, while smaller parties and independents could influence the final tally.
All eyes are now on the results to see whether the exit polls accurately reflect the ground reality in Maharashtra.
