This year’s election season in India saw Assembly polls in 5 states – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram.
Possible hung assemblies, polling dominance and close races – the 5 state elections had all it all.
Most exit polls showed Congress had an advantage in Telangana, where K Chandrasekhar Rao’s BRS is in power.
A neck and neck fight between BJP and Congress is expected in Rajasthan, a state with the ‘revolving door’ trend for state governments since 1993.
Multiple exit polls have predicted that BJP will retain power in MP. A thumping victory for CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan may be on the cards.
Most exit polls say Congress’ Bhupesh Bhagel will keep the CM’s office for another term. BJP may closely trail.
Exit polls indicate the possibility of a hung house as local parties ZPM and MNF lock horns. The BJP or Congress may emerge as kingmakers.
