Exit polls hand BJP big wins in Maharashtra & Haryana
Exit polls have predicted a resounding victory for the BJP in Haryana and Maharashtra.
Most polls have given nearly three-fourths majority to the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena combine in Maharashtra, and a similar margin to the BJP in Haryana.
The Times NOW exit poll gave 230 out of the 288 seats in Maharashtra to the BJP-Sena alliance, and 71 seats in the 90-seat Haryana assembly to the BJP.
At least three exit polls predicted three-fourths majority for the BJP in Haryana, with Congress finishing a poor second.
The exit polls indicate the BJP has come close to replicating its performance in the 2019 general elections.
