Exit poll results 2017 Live updates: It’s BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa, Manipur; Congress vs AAP in Punjab

After the hurly burly of the two-month-long campaign ending Wednesday, all eyes are on Thursday evening's exit polls from the five states that held Assembly elections over the past two months - Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur.


Uttar Pradesh is likely to see a BJP government as most of the surveys projected it as the single largest party in the state. The BJP is likely to retain Goa and secure victory in Uttarakhand and Manipur. However, in Punjab Congress and AAP are seems to be in neck to neck battle.


The safforn party, however, is expected to fall short of majority in Uttar Pradesh. Interestingly, amid prediction of a hung assembly in UP by various exit polls, Akhilesh Yadav has said his party is ready to form an alliance with arch-rival BSP


The India Today Axis exit poll gave BJP 18 seats in Goa out of 40 assembly seats and predicted 185 seats for it in Uttar Pradesh followed by Samajwadi party-Congress alliance at 120 seats and BSP at 90 seats.



 In Manipur too, BJP is likely to win 25 to 31 seats out of 60 Assembly seats.



 In Punjab, however, it is going to be a big setback for Punjab where Congress is expected to win 62-71 seats followed by new entrant Aam Aadmi Party with 52 seats. The BJP-SAD alliance is expected to win a dismal 4-7 seats.



Today’s Chanakya with News 24, which got its prediction right in Lok Sabha elections in 2014 and other assembly polls subsequently, has predicted 285 seats for BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance is far behind with 88 seats. Mayawati’s BSP is predicted to win a dismal 27 seats.  Voting for Assembly elections in five state ended on March 8.
