The exit polls on Monday predicted the return of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is likely to tighten its grip on Delhi by winning the civic polls, a close contest in Himachal Pradesh with the BJP having a decisive edge over the Indian National Congress (INC) in the hill State.
The exit polls could further compound the problems for the Congress leadership and give voice to a section of leaders who have been demanding a comprehensive change in the organisational structure.
The results of the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections will be announced on Thursday. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election results will come out a day before.
Without exception, all exit polls on Monday predicted a comfortable win for the BJP in Gujarat. The NewsX-Jan Ki Baat went a step further, projecting 117-140 seats for the ruling party BJP, which would even surpass BJP’s 2017 feat.
The exit polls show that Congress’ politics of caste arithmetic was no match for BJP’s focus on highlighting development, the crackdown on crime mafia, women safety and security, and its Hindutva pitch.
