MP poll of polls: big win predicted for BJP, Congress may end as distant 2nd in largely bipolar fight

Most exit polls have predicted an advantage for the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, where voting was held on November 17 for the 230-member assembly.

While the BJP is in power in the Madhya Pradesh assembly, Jan Ki Baat exit poll predicted that the saffron party would get 100-123 seats and the Congress 102-125 seats. In the largely bipolar contest, each of the parties would need 116 seats to form the government.

Republic TV-Matrize forecast 118-130 seats for the BJP and 97-107 for the Congress, essentially forecasting continuation of Shivraj Singh Chauhan as the chief minister.

But Today's Chanakya predicted a massive victory for the BJP, forecasting that the saffron party would get 151 (plus minus 12 seats) and the Congress 74 (plus minus 12 seats).

The India Today Axis My India too predicted the ruling party to bag between 140-162 seats while Congress may settle between 68-90 seats.
