With just 2 days to go for the actual poll results to be announced, it seems the worst and the unthinkable will haunt the Grand Old party of India if exit poll results are to believed.
As per CVoter, the Congress may lose its last fort in Northeast India — Mizoram with the BJP/NEDA slogan of a ‘Congress-Mukth Northeast’ coming true. Exit poll results suggest that the Congress is likely to get 14 to 18 seats in the state while MNF may get 16- 20.
More than 7.70 lakh voters had cast their vote on November 28 in Mizoram. The state recorded 80 percent voter turnout, a marginal drop from what was 83.41 percent in 2013 and 82.35 percent in 2008 assembly polls.
CVoter survey has given ZPM 3-7 seats while 0-3 seats for other parties and independents. In the 2013 elections, the Congress had won 34 seats, while its main opposition, the Mizo National Front (MNF), got five and the Mizoram People’s Conference bagged one seat.
